Has anyone experienced pain while having their eyes examined with the slit lamp? The last time i saw my opto, and he was examining my right eye, it took everything for me not to cry. The light caused such pain in my right eye that it felt as though my eye was being squeezed and pushed out. I haven't lost that sensation and it's been almost 3 weeks. Only my right eye though.
The pain runs to my temple to my ear as well as down my neck. Everything bothers that eye now - even the lights at the mall, headlights on cars. It's a terrible pain that doesn't seem to want to heal.
I don't think the slit lamp caused it but it certainly exacerbated the pain.
I would appreciate thoughts on this ....
