Question 1

feeling pressure around my eyes specifically my left eye when i blink rapidly or when i blink hard. my eyes also feel a bit hard?

Accepted Answer

Not serious: Most likely you are a bit hypersensitive to symptoms most would consider normal.  If your vision is fine, and the eyes do not hurt and are not red, then you should wait it out and see an ophthalmologist if these symptoms persist for 1-2 months.

Question 2

what does it mean if there is a pressure type feeling behind your left eye?

Accepted Answer

Pain behind eye: Pain may feel like it comes from behind the eye if cornea is scratcthe the surface is dry or the eyeball is sore. Most of these surface issues will abate with lid closed, topical lubrication eye drops or gels. Glaucoma usually does not cause this kind of symptom but inflammation in the eye ( iritis) can but would likely be accompanied by light sensitivity, redness extreme watering. See your eye dr.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Stye: Most likely a stye or hordeolum. A blocked/inflammed gland along the lower lid eyelashes. Use warm,moist compress to the area as often as possible. May use acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain. If no better or worse over next 7 to 7 days see doctor. Best of luck with this. Dr. R
