Hello, your symptoms may be caused by ocular inflammation or prolonged sleep deprivation. We recommend visiting an ophthalmologist for a professional evaluation and targeted treatment. If the issue stems from sleep deprivation, ensure adequate rest—maintain sufficient sleep duration, go to bed early and rise early, and avoid further late-night activity. Maintain a positive emotional state and consume light, nutritious meals; avoid smoking and alcohol. If inflammation is confirmed, follow your physician’s prescribed treatment plan. Do not ignore or delay treatment, as the pain may worsen. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
