Can Sinus Infection Cause Eye Problems?
I have been to my eye doctor five times for a severe eye problem in the last month. He thinks it could be a reaction to something or a sinus infection. He has rule out dry eye or eye infection. What should I do? He said I need to go to a medical doctor

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sinus infection. Since sinuses lie close to the eyes they can cause problems to the eye in the form of eye infections.
It can also cause headache because of recurrent sinusitis.
Hence as told by your doctor sinus infection can affect the eyes.
Hence you need to contact ENT doctor for treatment of sinus infection.
thank you
