What Causes Pain Above The Outer Eyebrow?
my 6 year old daughter has been complaining about a pain that comes and goes above her outter eyebrow area (both). She wears glasses for astigmatism in both eyes. The pain seems very tolerable foe her. She has an appointment with the opthomologist in a few weeks, but my questions is, what could be causing this pain?

Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having pain above the eye brow and she is wearing classes for astigmatism.
The pain can be because of refractive error itself and astigmatism is known to cause pain above the eye brow and is a part of asthenooic symptoms.
Hence I advice you to get refraction done to look for any changes in the refraction and correction accordingly.
Thank you
