My eyes have been hurting me for the past week what can be causing this?

Many causes: There are many possible causes and only through an eye exam will you know. However, people in their late 40's are especially at risk for eyestrain related to the increasing need for reading glasses in that age range, so this is a possibility. Other common causes include dry eye, inflammatory eye disease (iritis), and even sinus disease.
