See your eye doctor: Sudden pain on movement of your eye in one direction is unusual in the absence of trauma. Please see your eye doctor for exam today and feel better.

Unlikely connection: Usually strabismus does not cause eye pain, with a few exceptions. If there is a hypotropia when moving the eye nasally, you may have a brown syndrome, where the tendon of the superior oblique "hangs up" at the trochlea. Trying to move the eye anyway may cause discomfort. With optic neuritis eye movement often causes pain, but in any direction.
