What causes a sharp pain in the eye for a second ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry eyes: The corneal nerves are so sensitive that any dryness can cause a sharp pain, which leads to reflex tearing. The pain then only lasts a second. If you haven't already done so, see your eye md for a more accurate and in-depth diagnosis, since several things cause dry eye.
