Post-injury eye-movement problem on waking

In my previous post, I did not describe the problem very clearly. The difficulty happens when I am first coming back to consciousness after being asleep, what I think you would describe as the instant I am leaving the hypnopompic state and can open my eyes. My right eye opens easily without discomfort, but my left eye takes time and work to open. As I mentioned it seems the eyeball is positioned as if I am looking at my own eyebrow, and seems to be stuck there, out of my control, and my left eyelid will only partly open until I can get the eye to move. Once this problem has been resolved, my eyes seem to open and shut and move relatively normally. I can close my eyes to meditate for 20 mins at a time without this problem ever happening. But every time  I wake from sleep there is a chance this may happen again. It can occur when I wake up during  the night, or from a nap during the day. Does that make it clearer?  
As I say,I am suffering from some degree of eyestrain as I go about my normal daily activities, to the extent that by the early afternoon I have a growing headache/migraine. Perhaps I could have a degree of double vision I am compensating for?

i dont know.  i personally would not consider that dangerous or alarming...or fixable.

It is part of something that causes utterly disabling painless but confusing migraine headaches from early afternoon every single day and means I cannot work, cannot think straight, cannot do my writing or painting. This may seem to be a very small thing, but its impact is considerable.

I've been waking up with a similar problem, a little more frequently lately, except it's my right eye. I've had something fall into my eye while working in crawl spaces, and have had treatment for a scratched cornea, but that was months ago.Maybe even a year or more.
The pain is rather strong. It takes me a good hour of flushing out my eye with visine or water or systane eye drops before the pain subsides. Whatever I can stumble to In my waking painfull state. My head needs to be upright, it seems to allieviate some pain. It used to happen once a month but lately it has happened three times in the last ten days. I have been driving across the country and camping alot In the last ten days as well. I have come to a much drier climate In the last ten days.In my right corner of my right eye it has been described to me by other parties I have asked as a reddish not smooth {the way an eyeball surface should be smooth} surface. Please help me find out what the hell is going on.

righteye:

what you describe is not IMO related to wheta lily posted.  you need an eye exam...the sooner the better.  could be recurrent corneal erosion, or keratitis of some kind...you need an exam.  this is more urgent than lily's post

I wanted to thank you for your help with my son's eye complaint; he was willing to follow your advice and saw an othalmologist the next day. He had an eyelash growing in the wrong direction! In addition, he was given some eyedrops to prevent dryness from interfering with healing of the abrasions he had suffered from his work. We were able to continue our camping vacation and he was comfortable. Again, our thanks.
