Pain in my eyeball

Everyday living
1

Hi folks. Have never had optic neuritis so don’t know if this is the start of it. Yesterday I woke up feeling as if I had grit in my eye, lasted all day. Fine when I was sleeping. Today my eyeball is just painful but gritty feeling is gone. Appreciate any thoughts.

Hi Mary

I’ve had optic neuritis a few times. I’ve always had a painful eye with it, which is worse when I moved my eye. I’ve not had the gritty eye feeling with it, but everyone is different. Also for me the first thing I notice is that my vision goes blurry in the affected eye.

Maybe worth checking it out with your GP could always be unrelated to MS.

Hope this helps

Hi Mary,

Before I was dx I had a really painful eye which I’m guessing was optic neuritis. It wasn’t blurry but felt like a knife stabbing my eye. It lasted about a week if I remember correctly(was 18 years ago) and I have never had it since-thank goodness. Hope you soon feel better.

Hi Mary,

I never had ON but sometimes I have days when eyes are painful and pain gets worse as I move my eyes. Sometimes vision goes blurry suddenly for a few a minutes then clears up.
