Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pain in the eyes following fever. The pain in the eye is on seeing in the different directions.
This can be because of simple cause like conjunctivitis and the treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops.
However this needs to be differentiated from painful ophthalmoplegia in which the eye movements are painful and restricted and this can be because of involvement of the nerves which supply the muscles of the eye.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
