What's the matter with the eye socket pain

If you have eye socket pain, then we need to pay attention to whether it is caused by corneal and conjunctival diseases. Usually, the cornea may be infected by some microorganisms, which may cause stinging in the eyes, or red eyes, fear of light, and increased tears.

1. Corneal and conjunctival lesions

The cornea is commonly known as the black part of the eye, and the conjunctiva is commonly known as the surface of the white part of the eye.

When the cornea and conjunctiva are inflamed due to microbial infection or stimulation by physical and chemical factors, there will often be stinging and aching pain in the eyes. The acute phase is often accompanied by red eyes, increased eye discharge, fear of light, and increased tears. In chronic inflammation, there may be only mild eye stinging or grinding pain, and stones may form in the conjunctiva of the eyelids. In this case, only treatment for inflammation or concurrent tarsal calculi is required.

2. Visual fatigue

Visual fatigue generally occurs among office workers because they have to work at close range for a long time. In addition, it also occurs among students, editors, writers, etc. This pain manifests as soreness, inability to open the eyes, easy tearing, but it will get better after rest. Visual fatigue is common among office workers.

Visual fatigue is common among office workers.

If the patient has refractive errors or a large difference in the sight of both eyes, or if the eye accommodation decreases due to presbyopia, wearing glasses will make the eyes uncomfortable and prone to eye pain and fatigue.

In this case, you need to have an accurate eye test, wear a pair of suitable glasses (especially for close reading), and pay attention to proper rest. After rest, the soreness and fatigue of the eyes can be gradually relieved. You can also try some anti-fatigue eye drops to promote improvement of symptoms.

3. Supraorbital neuralgia

It is neuralgia of unknown cause. Because the supraorbital nerve innervates the upper orbit and the surrounding skin, the eye pain is often a tingling pain in the orbit and its surrounding area, and some people may also have pain in the eyeball.
