What Causes Painful Eye Along With Light Sensitivity?
I have been having some occasional pain and some inconsistent light sensitivity in my left eye. I am also experiencing a twitch in the lower lid of the same eye. About 3 or 4 years ago my retina spontaneously detached in this same eye and I had surgery to repair the problem. The symptoms I described have been off and on for a few days. I'm concerned, do you think I have a problem?

Hello,
You get checked by eye doctor. It can be keratitis or corneal abrasion twitching is ticks not related to the problem. Some relate it anxiety neurosis so anxiety is to be controlled retinal detachment is to be treated may be with buckling or laser therapy. Consult retina surgeon and review it with preferably indirect ophthalmoscopy for wider field.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
