Eye Pain/Turn HELP Plz?!
Question: Hello, I am 23 years old and have been having the following problem for close 6 months now and it is driving me crazy!.
At first I noticed a distinct pain in my left eye, much worse when I wake up in the morning and gets significantly better throughout the day. It has been happeneing every single day since, it feels like a sharp type pain but also sore (you know if you do something too much and you get that sore feeling)... my other eye feels fine (like its not even there... very comfortable)
I also recently found out that my left eye turns inwards very slightly, only noticble to me and a trained eye doctor (I noticed this because I was experiencing double vision)
anyways 3 opthomaligists and 2 optometrists later and they all say my eyes are VERY health and everything inside looks very "crisp" (I dont know what they mean by crisp but i think thats a good thing)
is it possible that maybe something went into my eye and they couldnt find it? and maybe its pushing my left eye inwards??

How recent is your eye turn, and is it getting worse? How you can tell if your eye turn is getting worse is if the double vision is more obvious. Also is the double vision a vertical double vision when you see one on top and one at the bottom or horizontal (one side by side to each other).
If everything in the eye looks healthy, maybe it is time to consider anything behind the eye. If you continue to get pain and it increases, and your double vision increases, I would go back to an optometrist to have it examined again, make sure you tell the doctor that you have been seeing other doctors without result. Ask to have an MRI or CT scan of the orbit and the brain to make sure there isn't anything pushing the eye. That would be my next steps. I would also ask for your records of all the doctors you went to and bring it to the next doctor you see so that the new doctor or the current doctor has all knowledge of any other tests and findings that have already been done. This can be very helpful. Good luck. It may be normal due to the newly aware eye turn and it could be something else. It is obviously hard to help from just the description alone. Despite your frustration at going to so many eye doctors, you may need to go to another if you want it continued to be pursued. Good luck
I really don't know if it is something serious or something normal. But because you still feel it and are worried, that is the normal course of action I would take if I were examining you. Report It
