Gs sustsined eye injury some months ago.

Dr. found nothing wrong with eye.

Yesterday, eye was fine. He slept a couple of hours & woke up with outrageous pain.

He has a very high pain threshold, once went through molar root canal without anesthesia.

Please help?

Ty!

On edit: eye began to feel better aboit 3 hrs after he got out of bed. Call in to dr. No clue why this keeps happening. Ty all so much!

3. Yikes!

Does he wear contact lenses, or does he have dry eyes? I've had a corneal abrasion from contact lenses and it was extremely painful; also dry eyes can cause a lot of pain, or could be a flare-up from the old injury. Obviously he needs to see an ophthalmologist asap, hope he's OK soon!

6. No contacts & he uses artificial tears

Ty!

38. I hope the cause is found and he gets relief. Wasn't there a recall of eye drops and artificial

tears some time back? Manufactured in India if I remember correctly.

9. Best wishes to you both, SheltieLover... Is his pain eye-origin again? I certainly hope he gets the care he needs.

[SheltieLover]

11. Yes, same pain as when injury occurred

Maybe muscles irritated from REM?

Although, dr. said muscles tested perfect. Slight astigmatism, so I got him glasses with Transition lenses.

I will call eye dr. again today.

15. As has been mentioned, corneal abrasions are intensely painful so I'm sure they will stain his eye to check

(after appropriately numbing the eye with proparacaine)... It sounds like he has dry eye syndrome, so that does put him at special risk of surface corneal injury. Those who have ever worn HARD contact lenses have undoubtedly experienced that intense pain, and even though he doesn't, these surface injuries can occur for a lot of other reasons, including foreign bodies, styes, etc.

So, while it could certainly be something else, I would think that they would want to rule this out. Even ER docs would/should do the evaluation above for acute pain, no matter how much they want to refer to ophthalmologists.

Good luck!

29. Oh dear! Any eye pain is awful.

Sending all the good vibes your way. Please keep us posted?

[SheltieLover]

30. Ty! Will do! It's better for now.

I posted update in separate thread.

[usonian]

31. Quick scan of thread. Artificial Tears.

Please have them checked!
Some are dodgy and they are easily contaminated.

Otherwise, nothing but sympathetic feelings going out.

[SheltieLover]

32. Ty oh I know I was terrified to choose artif tears

But this has bn ongoing before that.

[usonian]

34. An ophthalmologist recommended Systane Night. B&L Soothe is similar. (I think I got those names right)

They both contain only mineral oil and petrolatum to different percentages.

Check contents, anyway.

No chemicals otherwise. I use them every night to keep eyes moist.

And of course, all drops need to be kept sterile, even if that's not actually doable by humans.

HTH, even in a small way.
