eye pain

I have eye pain on a daily basis and every time I talk to my doctors (have had 4 opinions) I am told that the pain has nothing to do with my ocular hypertenison/glaucoma suspect status. I also experince watey eyes several times throughout the day and my eyes are very sensitive to light. I have had ocular hypertension for 15 years. My pressures began with 19mmgh and now average 22/24 in both eyes. My Corneal thickness has been measured at 588 so my doctors subtracts mmgh from my pressure readings. I have an OCT done annually and everything seems to be ok. I also complete visual field tests every 6 months and have not shown and problems either.

The last time I went to the doctor, she told me that my eye pain could be due to sinus problems so they took some X-rays and claimed that I had a slight sinus infection. I took some meds and it seemed as though the pain went away, but a few days later I was right back where I started. Then I was given some eye drops that did not help either


Can someone give me some advice here, this is getting frustrating. I also see floaters now and then. But what irritates me the most is the pain in my eyes.
