Pulpitis may cause eye fatigue. Pulpitis can lead to pain in patients, and when tooth pain becomes severe, it may trigger reflexive pain that affects the head. Headaches resulting from this condition can subsequently impact the eyes, causing a sensation of eye fatigue. Therefore, pulpitis may potentially lead to eye fatigue. It is recommended that patients, when experiencing pain, follow medical advice and use analgesic medications for treatment.
