A member asked:

Why does it feel bruised behind my eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eye pain: A common cause of pain behind your eye is sinus inflammation. There are sinus cavities in the bones surrounding both eyes. The symptoms can also be caused by eye trauma, fatigue and other reasons. See your eye doctor if the symptoms persist.
