Eyeball pain

Hello
I have had eye pain since yesterday, but the pain seems to feel like it's coming from the eyeball, not the surface on the eye. It's my left eye- it's not red or itchy, it's just painful if I touch it gently and it hurts when I look around with eyes (I.e. left to right, up and down). My vision is fine. Should I be worried and has anyone experienced this before? I tend to be a huge worrier so need a bit of reassurance 😒

I get this all the time. For me it seems to be a type of headache really, just based in my actual eyeballs. Neither my GP or optician were in any way concerned when I mentioned it to them. Is it both eyes for you? Mine is always both but sometimes feels worse on one side or the other.

Depending on your age and family background potentially glaucoma.

Get pressure checked as soon as I’ve had scleroris where pressure is 60 also rule out glaucoma.
