A member asked:

Top portion of left eye hurts, feels bruised but no physical deformities. when i squint hard or poke at it i feel it. possible causes ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your EYE MD: Hard to tell without and exam! Could be a local condition involving dry eye, exposure keratitis, pterygium. It could also be from increased pressure in the left frontal/ethmoidal/sphenoid sinuses or tension headache. All of these are possible in a 26 year old male. See your ophthalmologist.
