Eye ache/ headache....unsure of what it is

Posted , 1 user is following.

hello all,

for the past month and a half I have been dealing with constant eye discomfort in mainly the right eye. Most of the pain from what I can tell is localized to the eyebrow area, inner corner of eye, and slightly above and below the eye in the eyelids. The pain feels like a dull ache/pressure. It is hard for me to distinguish if it is coming from the eye or areas around it. No burning, no itching, not a whole lot of redness. Occasionally the eye feels dry.

Background: I have been to the ophthalmologist 3 times. The first time they diagnosed me with blepharitis, which I believe to be a misdiagnosis since I hardly had any of the major symptoms. Second time I went back, no sign of previous diagnosis, but my right eye was found to be dry, recommended OTC eye drops which help marginally. Third time I went back there were no issues to be found, vision is OK. My right eye lid is slightly lower than the left.

Watching TV or playing video games makes the problem worse. Sensation is constant and nothing prescribed so far seems to help. Since the eye docs can't really find anything I am starting to wonder if it could be somehting else. Does anyone have similar symptoms or experiences? I am at a dead end and I'm not sure what to do next, I have been miserable all this time and any help would be tremendous!
