Problem with my left eye

[Thefeelies]

The problems I'm having with my eye (left) is kind of hard to explain. First of all it might be worthwile to say that I can't see with both eyes at the same time. My right eye is the dominant one. I use that one to see. But that's not to say my left eye is dead or anything, no, the fact is it's bringing me a lot of hardship. While I watch with my right eye, my left eye is still not entirely inactive, I catch some view/glimpses with it. So my left eye is not shut, but still open you know. And this is causing a lot of irritation to me. The thing is, when I cover my left eye with my hand I endure no pain/headaches/sometimes slightly heavy, annoying feeling on the left side of my face problems with concentrating my eye on something/looking straight ahead/looking people in the eyes/sometimes twitchy feeling etc. Then, when I take my hand off it again and watch with both eyes these problems all arise again. So  my left eye is the obstacle here. I've also noticed that if I put my hand over my right eye and watch with the troubling left eye its movement is far weaker ( when i move from one view to another with the left eye it gets blurry and hard to concentrate). I think that's pretty weird since the eye doctors and whatnot always tell me my eyesight with the left eye is fine .
Even when i close both my eyes I can feel my left eye is heavy and bringing me pain.  The docs say my eye presure for my left eye is normal and things like that, but really it's not helping me much. Advice?

I can sure relate to what you are saying.... it sounds like my story....

my dominant eye is my left is my left eye.... and I have a pulling feeling to the right in my right eye.... as it turns out I have a TMJ (jaw) disorder of the right side...   I haven't quite figured it all out but I think the Facial Nerve that runs between the right ear and the right I is pinched by this disorder in my right jaw....   so the hightened awareness .... pull ... dryness.... grainy feeling ... in my right eye.....         and hey..... if you find a cure.... let me know..................................     but a word of warning here......... AVOID SURGERY ON YOU JAW IF YOU CAN AVOID IT....      use a splint and teeth alignment and ways to relax you jaw.....   so that it doesn't trouble your facial nerve and eye.......

"itch" is the classic allergy symptom.  but the rest of those complaints dont match a diagnosis of "allergies"...

Yeah, the problem is that although my right eye is the dominant one and I see with it, it feels as if my left eye is the dominant one because I can FEEL it more (the heavyness/slight pain/irritation/itching?); not pers

no one can 'see' with both eyes at the same time.  literally every human uses their 'dominant' eye 99.9% of the time.  thats totally normal.

'While I watch with my right eye, my left eye is still not entirely inactive, I catch some view/glimpses with it.'

that is totally normal.

'Even when i close both my eyes I can feel my left eye is heavy and bringing me pain.'

that is an interesting statemtent, but not one that i or anyone else will be able to help you solve in a forum like this.  

you need a second opinion if you are unhappy with all the other docs you have seen before who said you are fine...
