My eye balls ache, what is this?

At first I thought it was a sinus headache with pressure around the eyes but when I close my eye lids and touch them I feel the pain in my eye balls them selves. Has anyone else experienced this? If not what do you think it is from?

Jeffy... I think your looking too much. Try not looking as much and see if that helps. If your eyeballs hurt when you close your eyes and press on them.... stop doing that.

LOL Yes  jeffy , I am a wiseguy , but I dont mean any disrespect..

Have a good day.

Curious if any of you experiencing the eye pain also have some kind of sinus thing going on, maybe chronic sinus?

hurting eyeballs can be due to eyestrain.  try giving urself a break from websurfing.

also, the homeopathic medicine Ruta works really well for eyestrain.  get a Ruta compound and try it...it'll fix u in a few dayz.

I got that same sensation from watching bikini clad girls mowing my lawn. Why they were willing to do that is altogether another story, but Honey is close.

OK. Kidding aside. I do know what your talking about. Like the eye balls are almost swollen, right. Tender to the touch through the lids. Not unlike a highschoolers case of blue balls but with different balls. Do I have it nailed?

I dunno what causes it. Almost feels like extra blood pressure to the eye balls. Weird stuff. Sorry I can't help with more than telling you you're not alone. Good luck.
