Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sharp pain in the eye?
Sharp eye pain can be caused by corneal abrasion, foreign body, acute angle-closure glaucoma, or uveitis. If severe or sudden, seek immediate evaluation as some causes are emergencies.
Why does my eye hurt when I move it?
Pain with eye movement can indicate optic neuritis, orbital inflammation, sinusitis, muscle strain, or thyroid eye disease. If accompanied by vision changes, seek prompt evaluation.
When is eye pain an emergency?
Seek immediate care for sudden severe eye pain, especially with vision loss, halos around lights, nausea/vomiting, eye redness, or after trauma. These could indicate acute glaucoma, uveitis, or other emergencies.
