Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2006Discomfort in my eye
This is my prescription Right eye -2.75 -0.25 x140 Left eye -2.25 Without glasses I experience discomfort in the right eye which feels like a pulling sensation or a headache in my eye. Does anyone here have any idea what could be causing it or has suffered something similar please?

Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... > >This is my prescription > >Right eye -2.75 -0.25 x140 [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Your eye is attempting to accomodate to it's uncorrected state and > you're experiencing muscle strain. Wear your glasses. More likely the OP is trying to squint to clear things up in the uncorrected state which is causing the asthenopia. Accommodation as the cause would be likely ONLY if the person is hyperopic and not wearing the glasses. frank What is OP? But why do I get it in only 1 eye not both? More importantly, will it go away? Thanks again Esme Any ideas on my question? >What is OP? >But why do I get it in only 1 eye not both? >More importantly, will it go away? >Thanks again >Esme > What is OP? > But why do I get it in only 1 eye not both?

So yes, obviously it will (does) go away with wearing your glasses. Don't mean to be flippant but to eliminate your problem just keep your glasses on. frank Dr Frank thanks for your reply. I appreciate what you suggest as solution but what I had hoped I might get from this forum is an understanding of what might cause it. Are there a number of reasons why it might occur? Also I don’t consider my prescription particularly high. Are you suggesting that I should wear my glasses all the time to prevent the pain in my eye happening at all, and is it usual for someone with this level of prescription to wear it all the time, or just as a remedial measure when I get the discomfort? Sorry to keep coming back with extra questions but I’d value your opinion. Thanks. Esme Are there a number of reasons why it might occur? Also I don’t consider my prescription particularly high.
