          dry eye: itching!

          RCE: like squirting the juice from a lemon into the hundreds of papercuts on my eyeball



          ETA: I don't actually have papercuts on my eyeball. I have apparently always had dry eyes, but developed RCE in April of 2006 after an injury to my eye. Kitty litter was involved, so I really did have 30-40 minor abrasions on my cornea.

                  Stinging

                  Stinging sensation, like being poked in the eye with something sharp.
                  (I tried just one word-stinging-and it said my reply was too short!)

                  Can you please tell me in 1 word or very short phrase what your dominant pain sensation is?

                  If you have multiple symptoms, try to articulate the pain sensation that seems to be the most debilitating, that most interferes with your usual activities.

                  Examples (but please add different ones if none of these fits you!)

                  burning
                  foreign body sensation
                  scratchy
                  gritty
                  sore
                  pressure
                  photophobia
                  menthol sensation

                    photophobia, itchy.

                    One thing I should say is, the thing bother me the most is the headche dry eyes brings, it hurts my brain power a lot. Yeap, I do feel most of the sympton you guys feel about the eyes, but headache make me feel dizzy and hurt my working effiency badly. Am I the only person feel that way as I didn't see lots of people mentioned about headches......

                          Sporadic "deep pain" in right eye (worst eye).

                          Chronic feeling (both eyes) like having had eyes open for hours in a heavily chlorinated swimming pool.
