Eye pain and pressure

Eye pain and pressure

I have been experiencing pain and pressure behind my left eye for about four months. I also have a continuous flicker of my eyelid. I've seen my optometrist about this, but she said it would go away.  I'm getting more concerned because the flickering sometimes is a constant motion, it doesn't seem to be going away.  

I feel a slight pulling feeling in the skin above my eye.  Can you give me some advise with this?

It could also be the beginning of blepharospasms.  See and Ophthalmologist for diagnosis.
