Child With Pain In The Eye, Altered Vision. Have Lenses For Myopia. Could This Be Related To Stress Or Hormonal Levels?

My 13 y.o. daughter currently has a bad pain around her right eye, she says it s behind her eye and just above it, and her vision is not right - she describes it as not being able to see all the words when she reads, as though there s a dark patch. (She is myopic but that is well controlled with corrective lenses). She s starting to feel nauseous with this now as well. Additionally, her period has started today - she began menstruating about 10 months ago and doesn t have a regular pattern as yet, but it s about 23 days since the last one. Finally, she has just finished a huge week of exercise, competing for the last five days in a high-level athletics competition. She has never experienced these symptoms before. Could this be related to her periods /hormone levels; or to the stress of the last week? What can I do to help ease the symptoms? Thank you, A s mum

Hello and welcome to HCM

The eye symptoms seem to be unrelated to the hormonal levels.
Painful eye with blurred vision indicates some kind of infection. Various infectious agents include bacteria, virus, fungus, parasites etc. Improper handling of contact lenses can also cause eye infection.
Consult an opthalmologist for clinical examination and investigations.
In case of infection antibiotic eye drops and/ or oral medication will help.

Thanks and take care

Hi thanks for asking with HCM ! She feel internal eye pain and dark patch, this could be related to glaucoma. Please consult with ophthalmologist for further diagnose. Now ! About menses. If pain and abdomen cramp give her painkiller and antispasm tablet. And do need check up if she is anemic or not. Be healthy. Bye.
