eyes hurt

Postby timtim » Tue 03 Jul 2007 6:31 pm

Is it normal for my eyes to slightly hurt, pretty much all the time? It's like a slight soreness. It is worse in my left eye (which is the worse eye). My guess is thats its caused by my eyes having to work so hard to focus because of the KC, but I want to be sure its nothing to worry about.

Tim,

Some would say yes, others no.

The advice we give here is if you feel discomfort and and are worried go and get is checked out.

I agree with what others have said here about getting someone to take a look to make sure everything is ok. I get soreness in both eyes mainly due to them being so dry which is where Systane is very good! I also find it worse when I don't have my lenses in and I get a terible headache as I am struggling to see.

Cold compresses are good for me, I get some relief from this. Hoping you get it sorted soon, love Sweet X x X

Eyes that hurt sometimes - yup, I think all of us haave "bad eye days" from time to time.
Eyes that hurt all too often - yeah, that's not a few of us, too.
Eyes hurting just about all the time - suggest you get that checked out. There could be any number of things behind that, raning through contact lenses not fitting so well as they should, tears produciton not all it might be, the dreaded hay fever, hormonal changes. etc.
