What Causes Discomfort In The Eyes?

my husband started waking up the last few mornings with his left eye being fuzzy as he describes and then goes away after 15 minutes. He also developed in the last few days not feeling well with all his joints hurting him. He does have multiple health problems including AFib and high BP and multiple medications. It this something we should be concerned with immediately.
