Hi,
Regarding your question about feeling tightness around your eye, there are several possible causes, including:
*
Eye strain or fatigue: Prolonged use of digital screens or reading for extended periods can cause eye strain, which may result in a feeling of tightness or pressure around the eye.
* Sinus pressure or infection:
Sinusitis can cause pressure around the eyes, as the
sinuses are located close to the eye sockets.
* Migraines or tension headaches: Some people experience headaches that can cause a tightness or pressure sensation around the eyes.
* Glaucoma: Increased pressure within the eye caused by glaucoma can cause a feeling of tightness or pressure around the eye.
* Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation and swelling around the eyes, which may result in a feeling of tightness.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
