Acute Ocular Pain (AOP): Disease Understanding

Acute Ocular Pain (AOP) Overview

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage," and pain is commonly stratified into two broad groups-nociceptive and neuropathic pain. Nociceptive pain refers to the direct activation of nociceptors due to actual or threatened damage to non-neural tissue and implies an intact somatosensory nervous system. This is typically associated with transient pain following injury, surgery, or infection in the eye. In contrast, neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the intrinsic somatosensory nervous system, often in the absence of other tissue injuries.

Ocular pain is a myriad of symptoms ranging from acute sharp pain in the eye to mild discomfort or itching in the eyes. As the spectrum of symptom presentation varies with eye pain, the cause of these pains may vary from straightforward refractive errors to potentially sight-threatening disorders like glaucoma and uveitis. Most ophthalmologic conditions producing ocular pains are associated with symptoms and signs like red eye, photophobia, vision loss, or diplopia. Sometimes it poses a challenge to physicians when the pain is associated with a quiet or "white eye."

Diagnosis of AOP is based on previous medical and medication history and physical examination of the eye, which is then confirmed by tests like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), histopathologic examination for the detection of cancers, and culture of the eye to check for a bacterial infection.

Approaches to treating ocular pain come from neuroscience, neurology, and pain management rather than the field of ophthalmology. Clinicians should be alert and attuned to the possibility that a patient might have a pain syndrome rather than a report of physiologic nociception. Symptoms are the manifestation of signaling and should be the focus of treatment. Continued signaling converts peripheral-to-centralized pain and acute-to-chronic pain, so the goal of ocular pain management must be to reduce signaling, and various research focusing on new therapeutic entities may reduce the conversion of acute-to-chronic pain is underway.
