Dear sir

There are many causes that might cause pain in the right eye with diabetes

1. Diabetes retinopathy
2. Increased intraocular pressure due to blockage of trabecular meshwork
3. Thyroid abnormalities leading to exoptholmos
4. Cavernous sinus thrombosis.

Since your MRI is showing periventricular ischamic plaques it is evident it is caused due to atheroscelrosis of the arterial vessel wall.

Diagnosis might be due to cavernous sinus thrombosis.

There are different modalities of treatment which is collectively evaluated by vascular surgeon and neurologist.

Thanks
