Eye Pain

Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms

• Headache

• Fever

• Swelling of the affected area

• Visual field defect

• Recent weight loss

• Numbness / sensory disorder

• Photophobia

• Branch retinal vein occlusion

  The retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eyes. It is responsible for turning the light signals your eyes receive into images in your brain. Your retina has one main artery and one main vein. When branches of the retinal vein become blocked, it is called branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). The obstruction in the vein might cause leakage of blood and fluid into the retina, resulting in blurry vision and even vision loss.

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

  An inflammatory disease affecting multiple joints, especially in the hands and feet. The cause is autoimmunity (body's immune system attacking itself).

• Sinusitis

  Infection of the sinuses, which are cavities around the nose. The infection can be acute (lasting about a week) or chronic (lasting for more than three months). It can be caused by viruses or bacteria.

• Dengue fever
• Candidiasis (oral, hands and feet)
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Central retinal vein occlusion

• Enterovirus infection

  Enteroviruses are a group of viruses that can be transmitted by eating, swallowing, or breathing in contaminated food, water or airborne droplets. Usually infections are mild. Occasionally severe complications such as inflammation of organs like the heart, brain or liver can occur.

• Central retinal artery occlusion
