Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Long, Sharp Pricking Pain In The Back Of Eye Indicate?
For last three days I get a pain (8 on scale of 1-10) in the back of my right eye that feels like a long, sharp needle is being inserted into it. Never had this happen before. Had my yearly eye checkup in May of this year. What could this pain be from?
Pain behind the eye can be related to migraine or sinusitis. I suggest to do a sinus X-ray to exclude the possibility of sinusitis. Meanwhile, I suggest using over the counter painkillers such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
