A member asked:

What is the reason behind eye cramping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numerous possibilies: Pain in the eye is poorly localized and vary in description from patient to patient. Any number of etiologies can cause eye discomfort, from dry eyes to allergies to infections. You need to see an eye md for diagnosis and treatment.
