Detailed Answer:
Welcomw to HCM. Your trust in this health forum is appreciable. I am your Physician assigned to help you out in this painful situation.

Cause for this pain and feeling of muscle pulling may be related to eye surgery. It is a reported problem post-operatively and needs reevaluation by your Retina Surgeon.

It may be managed once properly diagnosed. Your Eye Doctor may have evaluated the ciliary muscles and lens attachments, muscles of the eye ball and their integrity. He hasn't found anything wrong with them. That's his reason for referral. It can also be related to nerve supply of muscles of eye. These are the areas of investigation by your Retina Doctor.

Let me know please if you need further assistance in this regard. I am always here to help.
