I believe it's related to medication. because I have taken cozarr and the generic losarton. they say 1 in a 1000 gets this side effect. but there's no proof losarton just states sever eye pain. they don't call it ice pick pain.

What causes pain in left eye?

There are a variety of different reasons why you are getting pain in your eye. The causes of eye pain fall into two parts: Ocular pain and Obital Pain. Ocular pain is pain on the outer structures on the surface of the eye. The most common eyes problems in this part is conjunctivitis which can be allergic, bacterial, chemical, pinkeye, or a viral inflammation. Now on the other hand it could be Orbital pain. Orbital pain is a dull ache behind the eye. This is usually caused from a disease of the eye. Some reasons could be from migraines, glaucoma, Iritis, Sinititis, and optic neurtis. I would recommend making an appointment with the eye doc. to make sure it isn't just something simple. I Hope this helps =]

What causes sharp shooting pains in your head and is it serious?

Idiopathic stabbing headache was first described in 1964, at which time it was called "ophthalmodynia periodica" (Lansche 1964). Since then, brief, sharp, jabbing pains that occur either as single episodes or in repeated flurries have been designated by various terms including: "icepick-like pains," "sharp short-lived head pains," "needle-in-the-eye syndrome," and "jabs and jolts syndrome"It is characterized by brief, sharp, severe jabbing pains about the head that occur either as single episodes or as brief repeated volleys. The pain resembles a stab from an icepick, nail, or needle and typically lasts from a fraction of a second to 1 to 2 seconds. Idiopathic stabbing headaches may have the shortest duration of all known headaches. The frequency of attacks varies immensely, ranging from 1 attack per year to 50 attacks per day. The pain is characteristically located in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Icepick-like pains are more common in women and do occur in children.

What could be causing a very sharp pain over the left side of the eye?

As an eye doctor, I hear this question frequently. An infrequent pain that might be described "shooting" or "ice-pick-like" in one eye lasting a second or less, while quite painful, is generally not a sign of a more serious problem. Evaluation by an optometrist or ophthalmologist is highly recommended, however, to rule out any underlying cause, especially if the pain is occurring with increasing frequency or severity.
