Eye pain can be described as burning, dull, gritty, aching, pressure, throbbing, or stabbing. Sometimes eye pain is confused with other symptoms, such as a headache, sinus pain, toothache, or a migraine.Various precautions should be taken care for protection of our eyes. Staring at a computer monitor for hours can put a real strain on our eyes . I would advise to wear glasses when one is on the computer and also to protect our eyes from UV rays of sunlight .

Eye pain requires immediate diagnosis by a specialist. Don't wait but go to the emergency department of a hospital. It is possible that you have extreme eye strain, but it is important to rule out other (more dangerous) causes. If you have eyestrain, then, unfortunately, doctors are pretty useless and you'll be on your own. There is virtually no cure for eye pain that arises from eyestrain.
