eye pain

[imgh]

Hello
About 13 months ago i had lasek eye surgery and after about 18 days after surgery i rubbed my right eye and immediately my right eye started to hurt and the got better a few days after that but ever since i still have a dull pain in my right eye which gets worse at times. I have seen my GP and an optometrist both of which have said my eyes are healthy and my vision is great. But this pain is really bothering me and its constant and never goes away and it also gives me a headache in right side my head. I was wondering if any one could suggest what my problem is and what i should do.

Thank you

You do not give your age.  The eye pain and headache may not be related at all to the LASEK surgery.  I would see an ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam, including gonioscopy which is a test for a narrow anterior chamber angle which can contribute to eye pain.  You may need an MRI scan of the orbits and brain as well.

Thank you for answering my question. I am 25 years old. It feel like the pain radiates from my eye and goes around the right side of my head. It's a dull pain but sometimes it gets worse.
