Why Does It Hurt To Open My Eyes ?

It hurts to open my eyes. I have to force myself to open them but can only standit for a second or two. 3 eye doctors and 2 neuroligists can not find the cause. I have had extensive testing. All results are negative. This has been a relief but still does not help with my pain. Any ideas?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having difficulty in opening the eyes and it pains on opening the eyes.
This is seen in inflammatory diseases affecting the eyes like keratitis, corneal epithelial defect.
This requires treatment by anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotic eye drops depending on the condition.

Thank you
