What could be causing my eye pain and sensitivity when i touch my eye?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Eye pain: Eye pain can be caused by many entities-- dry eye, allergic conjunctivitis, corneal abrasions are common causes-- viral conjunctivitis can also cause eye pain-- if artificial tears do not help, you should see an ophthalmologist to have the eyes checked.
