Causes of Eye pain

 Following are the major causes of eye pain.

Injury

It is a common cause and required no rocket science to understand it. When something hits your eye and an injury occurs. This injury if left untreated or you are not being careful towards it after treatment then, it is possible that it becomes a cause of very bad eye pain.

It is very simple to treat a minor injury. Use proper ointments and eye drops and in a matter of few days it will heal up. Make sure you follow the prescriptions of a doctor.

Uveitis

The part of the eye where there is a thin pigmented lining is called uvea. The inflammation of this part is called uveitis. This infection may be caused due to several reasons. An injury, allergy, autoimmune disorders, infection and sometimes an unknown reason becomes the cause of eye pain.

If uveitis worsens, it can bring worse damages.

Eye pain is the initial part, this might further lead to vision loss.

Therefore, it is very important to treat uveitis.

Eye specialists diagnose this condition by using slit lamps in a physical examination.

Uveitis must be treated as soon as possible by using eye drops containing corticosteroids, pupil dilating drugs and even surgeries.

Endophthalmitis

It is an infection in which organisms find their way to the eye and cause damage.

The infection is introduced in the eye either after a surgery where unsterilized equipment are used or a direct injury to them.

In some cases, the organisms enter the body through some other means and reach the eye by means of the bloodstream.

The organism can be a bacteria, fungi or protozoa.

Endophthalmitis must be treated as the first priority.

This type of infection requires a highly planned treatment because medium levels can not bring much satisfaction.

If the treatment is delayed, very severe damage can occur.

After the diagnosis, the infection is healed by using corticosteroids, eye drops, antibiotics and even surgery. In surgery, doctors remove the infected tissue to stop the infection entirely.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition in which intraocular pressure increases due to the blockage of vessels which don’t allow proper drainage of Aqueous Humor.

When this pressure increases the optic nerve is affected.

This condition gives intense eye pain with a severe headache.

This situation can be treated but it depends upon its severity.

If the eye drops don’t affect then surgery is opted.

If the pressure in the eye is very high and it becomes impossible to control them surgery is opted.

In surgery, surgeons install a new drainage system for the fluid by removing the damaged one.

Contact lens

Many times, people don’t have enough information about the proper usage and storage of contact lenses.

All they do is place it in their eyes without being careful.

When the lens is not properly fixed, it causes itching and redness.

Later, eye pain begins to shoot.

Rinse your eyes properly with a saline solution.
