Hi all,
I have had a hell of a time with my eyes lately that have caused me to have some high anxiety. 12 days ago, I started to find it hurt to blink with my right eye. I figured it was a stye developing. So, I put a hot compress over my eye for awhile. It seemed to help, but then the pain started to get worse. So, I began to see my eye doctor. He saw me a total of three times as the pain would not go away and I was plain miserable. He examined my eyes very thoroughly and told me my eyes were perfectly healthy. There was inflammation underneath my eyelid though according to him. He thought it was allergies and sent me on my way with recommendations on eye drops. The pain was just miserable though so I decided to get a second opinion and see another eye doctor that is also in my city.
She had looked at my eyes very thoroughly as well. I finally found out the cause of my pain. She saw a blocked gland along my lashes and had told me that there was a white head forming. So, it is definitely a stye and that has eased some of my anxiety. She also assured me too my eyes look healthy and normal. Since that appointment though, I have had this slight stinging/burning sensation that switches from my left to my right eye near my eyelids. It causes me discomfort to blink and I feel as if I am slightly sensitive to light. I also feel itchy near my tear ducts and like my eyes are plain tired/sore. This feeling will come and go throughout the day and start up randomly.
My mom keeps telling me to not worry and that I was already told my eyes are perfectly healthy. She says it could be the stye causing sensitivity to light and this feeling. She also suggested allergies or eye strain causing this feeling with both eyes. I cannot help, but worry though. I also have not had an eye exam in awhile. My last eye exam for my reading glasses was about two years ago. So, this is also another possibility maybe. I am not sure. I have felt just this pressure above my eyebrows too, like a headache is starting up along with pain in my neck and along my temples.
I cannot help, but worry though and have high anxiety that I am going to go blind! Should I be worried? I have never heard of a stye causing some sensitivity to light. Does this sound like eye strain?
