pain around the eye

by sara347, Sep 10, 2009 12:23PM
I have throbbing pain around my right eye. The pain is limited to the lower part of my eye. It is constantly throbbing and also hurts, with a sharp pain when I blink or touch the area. I noticed the pain when I woke this morning (8am) and it has only become worse since then. I have also started to have pain across my forehead. I do have eye allergies which cause my left eye to swell but without pain, however I have never had problems with my rght eye.          Thanks for any help offered.

Dear Sara347,

Your symptoms warrant an examination by an eyeMD to determine the cause and obtain appropriate care.
