I'd like to know. I've been having eye problems for months now. Doctors (I went to 2) just give me eye drops.

My symptoms are a little different though, when I press on my eyes (the upper part) it actually hurts (nowhere else) and when I don't put in drops I'll get a grainy feeling in my eyes, like there is sand in my eyes or something..

Hearing your account reminded me of when my eyes were burned by accidental exposure to welding light. It was quite painful, and basically felt like there was sand in my eyes for several days. The doctor used a special dye to detect the burns. Probably not the case for you unless you've had a particular exposure, but something to think about..
