What Causes Pain In The Eyes?

Hi. I am having a bit of an issue with my right eye and the right side of my face. For a few weeks now, it's felt like my eyelid is really heavy and as if my eye were starting to move a different direction. In the beginning there was a little bit of pressure on my eye as well. As time passed, the structure around my eye and the cheekbone began to hurt. I keep having to lift my eyebrow to get my eyelid to cooperate. The structure around the eye hurts severely as does the center of my head sometimes do. I don't know whether or not to see an eye doctor or neurologist about the matter. I just know it is not sinus issues.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic
It seems from the history that you are having pain and heaviness of eyelid with the pain spreading to cheek.
This indicates inflammatory condition of the eyelids and this requires treatment by antiinflammatory drugs and antibiotics.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
