Its my migraines acting up so I just take something for it and lay down!! The DR isn't surprised how bad my mirgraines are with my FM

An ice pack on the eye helps, and on the back of the neck, for migrains, or head aches. I use a frozen pkg of peas, I mark, so I dont reuse them. And refreeze it. It works GREAT!

Hmm, could be allergy. Could be inside your head. Talk to doc. Don't let it go.

sometimes I'll get this sharp pain in my right eye....but it's usually when my migraines are acting up (like right now). since I've had a migraine for a week now, I feel your pain. dang eye pain.

Usually Migraines are on One side of the head and can effect 1 eye as well.

I tend to agree with the others. I get the pain in just one of my eyes during my migraines.It always seems to be the eye on thr opposit side from which the migraine is on.But yes Ice workd the best for the eye pain.

You may want to ask your doctor to send you to an Opthamologist. He/She should be able to check you for Uveitis and Iritis.

I have been having trouble with my eyes. It started about 5 yrs ago ( dry eyes and occasional pain and feels like I have something in it ) I went to the eye Dr. and he gave me a light perscription.
I think I have just become used to it.

I had that post once and someone answered my question it is from the muscle in the neck called occlipital,. maybe thats it Have to check to be sure of spelling when I have more time. It is right at the base of your skull , it causes eye pain, I been there done that what you been through.

Oh, I feel so sorry for those of you who suffer from migraines. I have only had two migraines, and that was two too many!

My eyes have gotten better since I got off the meds. I had to switch to 'large letter' books, but now can read regular size letters again.

My eyes do sometimes hurt and get out of focus, but I believe that is just from reading too much. In the past week, I have read five books on murder/mystery so, yeah, that would probably put a strain on my eyes.

Hope you find something that works for you. I did try 'tea bags' over my closed eyes and this seemed to relax them some.
