Periocular Pain

What is periocular pain?

Periocular pain refers to discomfort or pain felt around one or both eyes, including the eyelids, eyebrows, and areas surrounding the eye socket. It may be mild or severe, occasional or persistent, and can have different ocular, neurological, or sinus-related causes.

What causes pain around the eyes?

Periocular pain may be associated with eye strain, dry eye, migraine, sinusitis, eye inflammation, infections, eyelid problems, and other conditions. When pain occurs together with vision loss, significant eye redness, marked light sensitivity, double vision, or nausea, medical evaluation is important.

How is periocular pain diagnosed and treated?

Diagnosis depends on the characteristics of the pain and associated symptoms. A specialist may evaluate vision, the eyes, and the structures surrounding the orbit to identify the underlying cause. Treatment depends on the cause and may include lubricating drops, medication, treatment of an eye condition, or referral to another specialty when appropriate.
