this be eye strain? I feel so bad for my mom. She has been in pain for the past 10 days. Her left eye hurts, especially when she wakes up, and throughout the day. It does get worse if she gets upset about any little detail during the day. When she leans her head back, she gets this very sharp pain in the back of her neck/skull. If she closes her eyes, it hurts and if they are open, it hurts. For the past few days, she has been very very dizzy. She went to her primary doctor and he took some blood to run some tests and we are still waiting for the results. I think her dizziness is caused from her eye. I want to take her to a doctor but I am not sure which one to take her to: An Optometrist, Ophthalmologist, or a Optician? My mother is 45 years old. Recent diagnosis of Diabetes, and she is a smoker. No other known illnesses to report. Hope and pray to God that her results come back all clear. But I am worried about this eye pain she is experiencing. Can someone please help me out? Thank you.
