A member asked:

Pain above eyes and pressure since i got glasses a year ago, especially when looking up or to the sides. can't stop rubbing eyes! what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible sinusitis: This sounds like more than just a glasses problem. If you are prone to allergies or sinus problems, this may be a chronic sinusitis, probably allergic in nature. That would also explain the eye rubbing. Go see your Eye MD and/or an ENT specialist.
