I Feel Like The Right Corner Of My Left Eye Is Being Pricked With A Needle

Hi there, Since yesterday, Every 2 hours or so, I feel like the right corner of my left eye is being pricked with a needle. And I sort of get a quick twitch because of the 1 second pain. I was wondering why I am all of a sudden getting this needle-prick feeling in the same place every couple of hours in my left eye.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pricking type of pain in the corner of left eye.
This can be because of inflammatory lesion affecting the gland of the eye lids like hordeolum intetnum or externum.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antiinflammatory drugs, antibiotic eye drops.
Applying hot compression will provide symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.

Thank you
