Could be a cluster headache but get checked by optician first. They can either then refer you to the hospital eye clinic or say to see your doctor. If it is a cluster headache then only thing that helps is strong painkillers.

Hi lil, sorry to hear the pain has moved into the eye. This eye pain is common with migraine and I've had spells of of over the last year and neuro has advised unfortunately its part of a migtane, a sympthons. I too had my eyes checked and all was OK. I know the pain is bad at times, I had dreams of lifting my eye out with a fork. I have found by monitoring my eye pain, a trigger has been the blue light from TV so at times I wear migraine relief glasses and they help. Hope you are getting some relief from it and got some positive reassurance from optician. Take care xx

I too have had sharp pains in the side of my head and my eye. Optician was great Lil22 and did a thorough check. He said everything was fine so that was a relief

Oh no, that's awful but good you no what triggers it, I went to bed the other night with a awful headache, dreamt about having a terrible headache and woke up with it.
I did have app at optician but cancelled as was t well.
I've been to the doctors since and trying to sort hrt hopefully may help if not I'll go back to opticians.
It's weird as never use to get migraines until I was pregnant..
Thank you for your help xxx
