Why Are My Eyes Hurting Like Someone Stuck A Knife In It?

Ok I was on a flight earlier today and was really tired. I got on the plane and pretty much went straight to sleep. I woke up near the end of the flight before we landed. I opened my eyes and 5 seconds later my eye felt like someone stuck a knife in it and was tearing up alot this hurt

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having severe pain in the eye associated with watering from the eyes.
This indicates acute inflammatory conditions involving the cornea like krrstitis or inflammation of uvea in the form of uveitis.
As of now you can start with antibiotic eye drops and analgesic drugs.
You need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment at the earliest.

Thank you
