Eye pain
I'm not sure if it is you that I should be asking this question to.
My husband gets sharp pains from behind his Right eye. There is no particular time that it happens. He could be sitting, walking, it doesn't matter. He also gets headeaches from low grade to intense on the right top side of his head sometimes before or after the eye pain. When he coughs he feels pressure there also. He is a diabetic controlled by diet. It has been going on for about a month or more. When this happened I got him to take his blood pressure and his is always low it was 112/58. I also got him to check his blood sugar count and it was fine. He has had a Cat Scan and it didn't show anything. He had his eyes checked and he mentioned it to him and he said he didn't see any problem with his eyes.
I had posted this earlier but I had the pain on the wrong side.
Thanks for your help.

Was he checked by an optometrist or an opthamologist (MD)?
Pain is an indication of something - at any age. What does his GP say?
Visual fields, retina test, scans etc are very specific tests done by specialists - a normal eye doc or a doc in a mall may not pick up on things.
A test for glasses may not be comprehensive enough. He needs to see a doctor.
Even a CT may miss things. I would go get another opinion. It could be migraine activity - it could be more.

He has had his eyes tested for glasses only and they showed the inside of his eye and said they didn't see anything wrong with his eyes. I also must add he is 74 years old.
