Hi
Thanks for keeping me posted!

I think I know why you have this problem. It is because you have sinusitis of the ethmoid sinus. This sinus is located between the eyes and above the nose. Sinusitis here causes that strange numbness like feeling between the eyes, or sinus pressure like symptoms at the inner canthus of the eyes.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please talk to your specialist about this. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
You could be having a refractive error problem. Get your eyes tested by an optometrist. If you are already wearing glasses, your number or axis or cylindrical number may have changed.
