we don't know exactly what causes migraine but it's unlikely your situation would trigger one. further a migraine would not cause irritation to your eye. since an eye doctor has told you the eye is fine my own guess would be that the eyelash caused such severe irritation to your eyeball that the nerves there simply won't settle down. this is a not-uncommon event with nerves in all areas of the body. if this is indeed the cause of your ongoing sensation of eye irritation then the good news is it should calm down on its own eventually. in the meantime you could try using soothing saline drops frequently for awhile to keep the tissue nice and moist (as it should be). this may help the nerve endings settle down. wishing you well!
can mild but prolonged eye irritation(like an eyelash poking)cause a migraine? . about 2 months ago i had an eyelash poking my right eye that has since been removed. since then my eye is still irritated. i get a sensation that there is something in my eye. i also get headaches/pulsating feeling on my right temple. very sensitive to light and any type of tv or computer screen. i have seen an eye dr and regular dr. they said my eye looks great- no problems. could the eye irritation have caused a migraine which is now irritating my eye? any suggestions would help. thanks
