Ok this kind of hard to explain. I am 19 yrs. old and for the last couple of days I have had this pain behind my eye whenever I move it around, it hurts around the whole socket, not like eye strain or sinus pain. Almost like i been punched in the eye and its only in my right eye. I also feel the pain in my forehead near the top part of my eyebrow and my temple and after a while I get very light headed. I might add that i do have amblyopia ("lazy eye") in my right eye and wear contacts an glasses daily, don't know if it has anything to do with it.
Gender: FemaleAge: 19 Already Tried: taking pain medication such as tylenol, advil, and sinus medication. I also have swelling at the top of my eye.

No I can"t really tell because my vision is already very poor in that eye
Do you have sinusitis? Do you have any infection in mouth, ear e.t.c.?
No
The possibilities in your case include glaucoma refractive error allergic reaction cellulitis optic neuritis sinusitis I would advise you to get yourself examined by an ophthalmologist as it is difficult to say what you have without an examination.
