Eye bags pain lower eye socket pain

There are many possible reasons for eye bags and lower eye socket pain. Pain in this area must be taken seriously and the cause must be actively sought. Because there are many eye diseases that are characterized by pain, in order to understand our own condition, we need to understand as many possible causes as possible, and then make a comprehensive judgment based on other manifestations to find out the cause as soon as possible so that we can better treat it.

1. Corneal and conjunctival lesions

The cornea is commonly known as the black part of the eye, and the conjunctiva is commonly known as the surface of the white part of the eye.

When the cornea and conjunctiva are inflamed due to microbial infection or stimulation by physical and chemical factors, there will often be stinging and aching pain in the eyes. The acute phase is often accompanied by red eyes, increased eye discharge, fear of light, increased tears, etc. In chronic inflammation, there may be only mild eye stinging or grinding pain, and stones may form in the conjunctiva of the eyelids. In this case, only treatment for inflammation or concurrent tarsal calculi is required.

2. Visual fatigue

Visual fatigue generally occurs among office workers because they have to work at close range for a long time. In addition, it also occurs among students, editors, writers, etc. This pain manifests as soreness, inability to open the eyes, easy tearing, but it will get better after rest. Visual fatigue is common among office workers.

If the patient has refractive errors or a large difference in the sight of both eyes, or if the eye accommodation decreases due to presbyopia, wearing glasses will make the eyes uncomfortable and prone to eye pain and fatigue.

In this case, you need to have an accurate eye test, wear a pair of suitable glasses (especially for close reading), and pay attention to proper rest. After rest, the soreness and fatigue of the eyes can be gradually relieved. You can also try some anti-fatigue eye drops to promote improvement of symptoms.

3. Supraorbital neuralgia

It is neuralgia of unknown cause. Because the supraorbital nerve innervates the upper orbit and the surrounding skin, the eye pain is often a tingling pain in the orbit and its surrounding area, and some people may also have pain in the eyeball.

What to do if your eye socket hurts

1. Gently press the eyeball

When looking at the computer screen for more than 1 hour, you should close your eyes immediately, relax your eyes for 5 seconds, and then start to use the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers of both hands to gently place on your eyelids and gently press the eyeballs. After pressing 20 times, start to massage the eyeballs in a clockwise and counterclockwise motion. Stop after about 20 seconds.

2. Soothing forehead method

Many times eye pain can cause frontal headaches. Therefore, use three fingers of both hands to slide from the center of the forehead toward the temples on both sides, and then use your fingertips to massage the temples vigorously. In this way, your eyes will feel relaxed and comfortable. Do this 3-5 times in a row.
