Hello, sudden eye soreness and pain may result from foreign body entry or corneal epithelial injury—such as abrasions—which can cause soreness, difficulty opening the eyes, excessive tearing, and a sensation of irritation. If eye soreness persists chronically, conditions such as chronic conjunctivitis, dry eye disease, or visual fatigue should be considered. It is advisable to visit a hospital for further evaluation; your ophthalmologist may assess visual acuity and intraocular pressure, check for refractive errors, and examine the ocular surface for signs of inflammation. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
