Pain in the Eye

So far you have indicated that your eye pain started suddenly without any change in your vision.

Eye pain that is accompanied by a headache may be caused by a sinus infection, migraine or can potentially indicate a more serious medical problem. Or it is possible that the eye pain and headache are not directly related.

Do you have a headache in addition to eye pain?

Yes, I have a headache.

No, I do not have a headache.
