Patients with eye pain at night may be caused by visual fatigue, glaucoma, keratitis, etc. Patients should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease.
1. Visual fatigue: If patients often read cell phones and books in the dark at night, visual fatigue can be caused by overuse of the eyes, and thus the performance of eye pain at night can occur. Patients should improve their bad habits and avoid staying up late to relieve eye discomfort.
2. Glaucoma: Since the intraocular pressure is higher at night than during the day, glaucoma patients may experience elevated intraocular pressure at night, resulting in headache, blurred vision, eye swelling and other discomfort.
3. Keratitis: Under the stimulation of inflammation, patients with keratitis may have eye pain, photophobia, tearing and other discomforts, which may be aggravated at night due to the pressure on the eyes and mental relaxation during sleep.
It is recommended that patients with significant eye pain should seek timely medical attention to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
