A member asked:

The back of my socket is hurting, i feel like theres an eye lash behind my eye but i don't think there is anything there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more details: Many things can cause discomfort feeling like it is coming behind the socket. You need exam with more complete history. Some possible causes; dry eyes, trichiasis (in-turned eyelash), recurrent corneal erosion, tumor behind eye, thyroid eye disease, orbital inflammatory psue-dotumor, uveitis. You need exam!

My son was elbowed in the eye this afternoon. It's not bruised but he's hurting. He said his eyeball hurts (not the eye socket or surrounding). He almost vomited from the pain. His pupil is not reacting to light. Do I need to take him to the ER?
