A member asked:

My eyes hurt causing my head to hurt around the temple. maybe because i'm on the iphone a lot, what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eyes: Sometimes those are the symptoms of a trigeminal neuralgia. This nerve is the nerve of your temples and the whole face. If you are on your phone a lot and it is pressed up against your ear, it could cause those synmptoms. Check it out with your doctor
