Why Do My Eyes Hurt?

Eyes are like any other part of the body; people don’t think about them until they hurt. The difference is that vision is so important to daily lives for many, so any pain might seem like a major problem.

We all have moments where our eyes get poked or we get dust in them, but if you have consistent eye pain there might be an underlying reason.

If Your Eyes Hurt, You May Be Dealing With:

• Eye strain, most likely from staring at a screen for too long without breaks. Though not in every instance, Astigmatism could play a role in eye strain.
• Untreated nearsightedness or farsightedness. Prescription eyeglasses can help solve this problem.
• Allergies or other irritants. If you have allergies, your eyes may be swollen.
• (In extreme cases) Undiagnosed medical conditions like cancer or glaucoma. Glaucoma makes it feel like there is too much pressure inside of the eyes.

What Do I Do If I Have Consistent Eye Pain?

Go to an eye doctor! Schedule an eye exam and make sure you describe your symptoms during the appointment. If they discover you have a condition, they’ll be able to give you the solutions necessary to handle the problem.
