What Is The Visual Disturbance With Tenderness Around My Eyes?

I have tenderness around my eyebrow almost feels like bruising. 2 days ago I had visual disturbance.. flickering lines in front of my eyes. It normally lasts about 20 minutes and happens a few times a year. When it is happening it makes it difficult to carry on holding a conversation and I just need to be somewhere quiet and wait for it to go.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having tenderness around eye brow associated with visual disturbances in the form of flickering lines in front of eyes.
This can be because of migraine and the visual symptoms you are having are common in aura part of migraine.
Hence this requires examination by a doctor to rule out migraine and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
