Is It An Allergy To Have Macular Degeneration, Intense Pain In Eye And Sore Throat?
I have macular degeneration, the dry kind and am having pain in one eye similar to pains and needles like a body part falling asleep. I think I m getting a cold and sore throat and think my eye is affected by the cold. I m a snow bird and don t have a retina specialist here in florida so I would like to know if the discomfort in my eye sounds serious. My vision seems fine but my eye is itchy so possibly it s just allergy related. What s your take on this. Many thanks. Joan

HI
This sounds like a simple sinus infection and nothing too serious. See a walk-in clinic doctor for an exam to see if you need a course of antibiotics
