Hello,
Pin pricking sensation in the eyes can be because of inflammatory conditions of the eye like conjunctivitis, inflammed pterygium, episcleritis, presence of foreign body on the ocular surface.
It has got no relationship with the power of the glasses. This condition needs to be examined by a eye doctor to findout the cause and treatment if required accordingly.
Thank you
