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?

haha Just checked in forum and saw this thread and didn't see "eye" at first,,,,What the heck lol  

Ok,,,Back to your question,,,are you on tx?  Because when I was on tx,,,mine ached all the time also.  They get dry and therefore you are straining more to see.  Try to use more eye drops and when your eyes get extremely tired,,,Give them a break!

I did when I was treating... sometimes it got so bad, it felt like daggers jabbing in my eyes... don't know what it is, but it happened to me... I'm sorry it's happening to you....

Maybe someone here can enlighten us as to WHY that happens!

Genteal eye gel works the best.  the drops make my eyes itch.  the gel is good to apply at night before you go to sleep.   interferon causes extremely dry eyes/skin.  Genteal eye gel contains no preservatives.  you can find it online.  just make sure its gel.  it was a good discovery for me.
