Experiencing Burning Sensation And Pressure In Right Eye Due To Injury
I was recently in a car accident on the 17th of December and I suffered significant trauma to my chest area from the airbag that deployed. To date, I still have a little pain in the chest area. About a week ago I started having pain in my right eye associated with a burning sensation and a little pressure. At first, I thought it could be a sinus infection because my right facial area also feels like pressure. My right eye is extra sensitive to light. 28 Yr old Female

Hi,
I have gone through your history, I feel very much sorry for the incident.
The incident was on 17 th December and already 1 month passed.
Your history suggesting me that you had some hairline fracture in the ribs, by this time the pain has come down because of healing.
Regarding your eye pain it is suggesting me that your intraoccular pressure has gone high thats why you are getting pain. Immediately you can give some cold compression to the affected eyes. Consult your ophthalmologist for checking the intraoccular pressure if it is high nothing to worry they will give tablets to reduce the pressure. Donot be tensed it can be corrected.
Thanking you.
