PAIN BEHIND THE EYES

What May Be Causing It?
Usually this is a sign of sinus disease, which can be related to allergies. About three-fourths of the orbit of the eye is made up of sinus cavities.

How Can I Get Some Relief?
It’s tough to treat sinus disease with over-the-counter remedies. Typically, the medicines don’t work well for pain behind the eyes.

Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Yes, see your physician for pain behind the eyes. If the pain is in the eye, it could be glaucoma or increased intraocular pressure, and you should see an eye specialist, an ophthalmologist, right away.
