A member asked:
Why does my sinus hurt after having eye surgury?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Referred pain: It may be due to a nerve block or injection given to numb the area, which can sometimes affect nerves to other parts of the face. Let your surgeon know if it persists.

Facial Nerves: The same nerves that supply the eye go through the sinuses and irritation (or surgery) of one area can lead to pain in the other. It will get better.
