Needle-like eye pain

by panpeeker, Aug 26, 2009 11:50AM
I am a 58 year old male who gets yearly eye exams and has had the same Rx for distance viewing for 40 years. The only time I use the glasses is when I'm driving at night in an unfamiliar location so I can read road signs. For the past year or so, I have experienced severe eye pain that is like someone stabbing a needle in my eye. It's my right eye and seems to be located near to my nose. I may go for months without experiencing this pain. It seems to come out of nowhere and lasts less then a minute.  Does anyone know where I might find detailed info on this condition on the web?
