Very uncomfortable feeling??need advice.

Post Reply New Topic

Since I was very young I've had this awful feeling in my eyes around bed time. The feeling is so uncomfortable and awful that I have to shut my eyes and poke my fingers in my eye sockets very hard to create some kind of pain to make the sensation go away. Does anyone know what this could be? I can get it during the day too I have to poke my eyes and get away from everything. Any ideas? It's something that's always been with me but never knew what it is.

I don't think this is related.....but if I don't take a shower during the day, my eyes get very stingy, and I have a had time keeping them open, or focusing.

Is the feeling in your eyes like "something in your eye?"

Well you might want to go to an eye doctor and get your eyes checked to make sure you haven't damaged them with regularly poking your eye sockets enough to cause pain. And perhaps they could also figure out what causes the feeling in the first place. And maybe help with that.

Have you ever gone to have it checked?

Get it checked out a.s.a.p , don't waste any time if your eyes are involved.

Interesting you said 'get away from everything'. Perhaps it's related to overload and by bedtime your system has simply had enough hence it requently occurring then? Justa hypothesis though

You might also have a focusing issue? Do you have regular eye check or wear glasses? I have astigmatism in both eyes which means they take longer to focus and I can imagine it would get quite sore if I didn't have corrective lenses! Bedtime is obviously going to be darker and so your eyes might be struggling to adjust?

Either way, definitely get yourself to an optometrist asap.

Maybe this is tiredness, but you feel it sensory-issue-aspie-like ten times worse. I would still see the doctor if I were you.

When was the last time you had your eyes tested? You may simply need glasses.

My sinuses make my eyes hurt sometimes at bedtime when I lie down.

If you get your eyes checked out and there is nothing physically wrong, you may want to check out Irlene Syndrome. It might be that a sensory problem with visual input is straining your eyes all day and they are just plain tired at night. If it is Irlene syndrom, the solution is pretty simple - just colored lenses that reduce the strain on your visual system. But get them checked by a regular doctor first. I would hate to hear that you have a real visual-motor problem and you wasted time getting it treated because you were trying colored lenses instead.
