Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pain in the eye and you have underwent a corrective laser surgery most probably lasik.
Laser surgeries can cause dry eye and dry eyes can cause regular and constant pain. The treatment of the condition is by use of artificial tears eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
