Why does my right eye hurt?

The pain in the right eye may be caused by eye disease. It is also possible that dust or flying insects have entered the eye. It may also be caused by viral and bacterial infection.

1. Eye diseases: If you often stay up late or overuse your eyes, or due to age-related problems, your eyes will become overly tired, causing dryness and pain, which can easily lead to conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers or the cornea has more peripheral nerves. In addition, as they age, the elderly may also develop glaucoma or eye tumors, which can cause pain in the eyes.

2. Caused by dust and flying insects: When riding electric bikes or motorcycles frequently, there may be a lot of dust or small flying insects in the air on the road, which may enter the eyes if you are not careful. If you rub your eyes with your hands, the solid matter may rub against the eyeball and cornea, causing pain in the eyes.

3. Bacterial and viral infections: People with weak constitutions do not pay attention to eye care and maintenance on a daily basis. For example, if they frequently rub their eyes with their hands, it is easy for viruses and bacteria to enter the eyes, damaging the cornea and causing pain.

If you have pain in your eyes, you need to go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for a fundus examination. After the cause is confirmed based on the results of the examination, you can use eye drops or take oral medication under the guidance of a doctor.
