Why has my left eye been hurting all day?

[Jojom12345]

I got hit really hard in my right eye yesterday so bad that it made my head hurt for a couple minutes. Today I woke up with pain in my left eye and it’s been painful all day. Could it be because I got hit in the other eye so hard? Or does that not make sense? What other reasons could I wake up with pain in my eye and have it all day?

According to me,

It’s really important to see your eye specialist or doctor if you encounter eye pain, especially if the pain does not subside. While it’s unlikely your sore eyes will be a symptom of a very serious condition, it’s still a possibility, and you should get an expert diagnosis.

Treatments obviously depend on the cause and can be as simple as using eye drops or compresses for dry eyes and allergies, to medication and surgery for more serious eye conditions.

If  either one of your eyes are painful when you read this you need to start working on getting in as soon as possible to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist to see if either was seriously damaged.  although its is more likely the eye that received the direct blow would be the most likely to be damaged in some cases the other eye is injured. This is sometimes called a 'contracoup" injury.
