Pain in the eye - Causes, symptoms and treatment. MF.

The eye is the organ of vision. Pain in the eye can be caused by diseases of the eyeball( orbit) or structures around the eyes.

The eye has a number of components. These components include, but are not limited to, the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve, vascular and vitreous. The cornea is in the front of the eye, which transmits and focuses light into the eyes. The pupil is a hole in the iris that helps regulate the amount of light that gets into the eyes. Inside the eyes contains a transparent substance, which facilitates the entry of light onto the retina.

Retina is the nerve layer in the back of the eye, catches light and creates impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. The macula is a small patch of the retina that contains special light-sensitive cells and allows us to see the fine details clearly. The optic nerve is a nerve that stretches from the eye to the brain and carries the impulses formed on the retina to the visual cortex of the brain. The vascular layer is a thin layer between the vascular sclera and the retina of the eye, it provides the eye cells with oxygen and nutrients.

The vitreous humor is a transparent jelly-like substance that fills the lens of the eye. Medical terms denoting pain in the eyes - ophthalmalgia( ophthalmalgia) and ophthalmology( ophthalmodynia).

In glaucoma, due to high intraocular pressure, the patient often has severe pain inside the eye. Patients characterize the pain as pressing, stress the appearance of aches in the eye, the sensation of a foreign body. This condition is also typical for an acute attack of glaucoma.
