What Causes Feeling Of Tightness Around Eye?

I was driving home from work when suddenly everything went fuzzy. I didn t black out, but I couldn t see the road. I was driving through construction, so couldn t pull over. After that I kept feeling a tightness around my right eye, like something was pulling on the skin from the inside....felt like my eye was bulging out...no pain, just pressure and a strange tugging sensation. What happened to free ....now, I m being asked for a credit card and $15.

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.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
