Sharp, Jabbing Eye Pain
Occasionally, I'll feel a sudden and sharp, jabbing, needle stick type of pain within my left eye. I've experienced this maybe 3 times within the last 5 months. And, as painful as it is, it's momentary and the sensation leaves as quickly as it comes. Other than this brief and infrequent discomfort, I haven't visually noticed or sensed any other symptoms. Any thoughts or ideas about what this could be? thanks!

I do have a history of eye infections (both eyes), could that have any relevance?
