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.
Well my pain was right above my eyes and in my eye sockets and I saw an eye doctor. He told me I have Isophoria (not sure how to spell it) and I need to wear glasses when I read, get on the computer or watch TV. It helps some but i take ibuprofen every other day or so.

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.

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.
The 2 most effective ways to cure eye pain include using eye drops and placing ice over the eyes. Most eye pain is caused from dry eyes so be sure to keep your eyes moist.
