What Causes Pain On Temple While Rubbing My Eyes?
Hi. I had a question. I dont know if this is a serious issue or not... my left temple near the my eye and eyebrow i get a sharp pain when i rub my eyes or squint hard in the sun for certain periods of time. Ciuld this be a pinched nerve? how can i make it stop and what type of Dr should I consult. i see a family practice. i had spine surgery in 2001 for scholisis and kyfosis (sp), in 2012 my left eye at tear duct was injured (a grown mans thumb went in all the way to the second knuckle) and i can feel my self straining to keep focus. please help! sincerely, Kristin H.

Hi,
In my opinion, a small nerve on the temple area is pinched/irritated.
It is not a serious condition and may cause discomfort.
See a Neurologist for your issues.
NSAID drugs may help for the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
