Hi, my eyes have always been sensitive to bright light eg if they caught the sun or the flash of a photocopier for a few seconds then I would have a headache the rest of the day. But in the last month or so I have got worse and working on a VDU is not easy (this is a large part of my work). My eyes sting and feel irritated, sometimes water a lot and it is usually accompanied by a headache in the centre of my forehead, between eyebrows region, like some sticking a knife in there. My eyes stung so much at work one time I thought I must have had an allergy to something and it was also accompanied by a constant runny nose but I don't usually get the runny nose. I don't normally have any allergies or hayfever so this sort of thing is unusual for me, I am aware allergies do not follow much script though and can suddenly appear!
I do have raised intra ocular pressure but not glaucoma (as yet) but I am not aware this sort of thing is a symptom and it has never been mentioned as being by the ophthalmologist.
I would be really grateful for any replies, thanks MN ers
