Why do my eyes hurt when I'm outside for too long?

This sounds like it's associated with the nerve in the head which hurts when we take too big a bite of ice cream.  Read this page http://www.sciam.com/askexpert_question.cfm?articleID=0002613F-FFCC-130C-BFCC83414B7F0000&catID=3&topicID=3 and see if it seems associated with your symptoms.  Best of luck!

Could be a lot of things.  Eye strain, low blood sugar, pregnancy.  Think about what and how often you've been eating.  Think about how much time a day you sit in front of a computer, reading, or driving, anything that could strain your eyes.  And also consider if you could be pregnant.  If you can't come up with anything there, talk to your doctor.\n\nGood luck and I hope you feel better soon!!!!

I've noticed that the headaches come because my eye muscles tire from seeing the same object the same distance away.\n\nEvery 15 or 20 minutes stop looking at the monitor and look at something else say 15 feet away. If you are near a window, look out over the horizon. Do this for about 30 seconds or so. This will relax your eye muscles.\n\nAlso remember to drink a lot of water. Stay off the sugar and caffeine drinks. Make sure your desk and chair is adjusted correctly. Some headaches could occur because you are straining your neck because your monitor is positioned incorrectly.

usually stress. \n\nIt can also be caused from some type of irritation.  (like a breeze blowing in the eyes, dust)\n\ntiredness

No, no, no!  That's a myth!  Gazing at anything too closely might cause eye strain, but only if a person is far-sighted and has a hard time seeing items up close.  Even if the eyes are strained, that's a very temporary condition, and more of an annoyance than a health problem.

I'm not an authority on this, but I think your eyes have natural antibacterial materials in them that get washed out with water, so the bacteria might cause more eye irritation. I would suggest using a real eyewash and talking to your doctor about why you (might be) wash your eyes out with water so often.

Okie... here's something that might help! U have unexplained headaches, you cant read those advert banners from far/ the blackboard in class from the last bench, your eyes get runny and itchy when youre trying to focus on a distant object, far away lights at night seem blurry and not pin points. If the answer to ANY of the above is YES.... its time to visit your friendly neighborhood Optometrist/ Ophthalmologist :) and btw... spectacles can make you look CUTE!

Try putting drops in your eyes like visine for allergies. It happens to me once in awhile and it's very irritating (no pun intended) but the visine helps. It could be caused from dust, something else in the air, I don't know for sure but again eye drops help.

Do you wear contacts?  If so, maybe you should take them out for a bit.  Try using some eye drops if you have any. Also is it painful at all?  If its painful you should probably make an appointment to see an optometrist.  Even if it isn't painful maybe its time to book an appointment anyways so your optometrist can let you know what to do since you spend too much time on a computer

You really do need to get to a doctor. I have allergies that cause my eye problems, but if this just recently turned up you have a problem. Good Luck.

See your eye doctor ASAP.\n\nDon't want to alarm you, but if the redness and pain are persistent, you should seek consult as soon as possible.  Wearing contact lenses (especially longer than you're supposed to!) predisposes one to corneal ulcers, especially those caused by a parasite called Acanthamoeba or a bacteria called Pseudomonas, which can be very virulent.\n\nOf course, it can be something totally benign, but to be on the safe side, seek consult.  Don't self-medicate.  Stop wearing the contacts.  See your doctor.

I used to get this. First of all make sure the light on the monitor isn't too bright, there should be a switch that adjust the light. Also I find if the monitor is too close I get pains behind my eyes. Move the monitor a reasonable distance away for you. Hopeful when you've made a few adjustments you should be OK. If this is thw first time you've used a computer it does take a while to get used to it.

They don't technically damage your eyes or vision, but they do cause a lot of eye strain.  Excessive eye strain might lead to a change in prescription.  If you do a lot of gaming, it's good to take breaks every so often (at least every hour) to look far away and relax your eyes for a few minutes.

It is probably hay fever. Get eye drops.  However, for quick relief, try putting and ice pack or cold pack on your eyes. It will relieve the discomfort a bit.
