No: Do not use otc meds. If you have glaucoma, you need to see your ophthalmologist quickly. Pain might indicate an increase in pressure in you eyes, and could lead to damaging you vision.

See ur doctor first: If you have glaucoma, and your eyes hurt, it could mean the pressure is dangerously high and you should have it checked.

What is the pain?: Any eye pain that needs medication should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist to determine the cause. If it is from glaucoma, the eye pressure may be very high and uncontrolled which can be permanently damaging. Proper evaluation is needed.
