Diagnostic tests for Eyelid pain:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Eyelid pain. Some of these are listed below :
- Eye examination
- Inspect the eyelids, noting any abnormalities
- Inspect the eye noting the nature of redness, if present. This will help delineate episcleritis, scleritis and iritis which may be caused by ocular shingles
- Use fluorescein staining of the cornea to detect any corneal ulceration (if suspect ocular shingles or Rosacea)
- Evert the eyelid to inspect under the upper eyelid

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Eyelid pain.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had the eyelid pain? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Where exactly is the eyelid painful? - e.g. blepharitis causes burning, itching and discomfort of the lid margins; styes cause painful, red localized swelling of the lid margin, usually on the side of the lid closest to the nose.
- Past medical history? - e.g. blepharitis may be associated with seborrheic dermatitis, eczema or Rosacea.
- Known allergies? - e.g. dust mite, mold, pollens - may indicate allergies as the cause of eyelid pain.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Eyelid pain) may include:
- Itchy eye? - may suggest allergies or blepharitis.
- Symptoms of a stye? - e.g. painful , tender, red, swelling of the lid, which after a few days localizes and cures itself spontaneously by discharging pus at the lash base.
- Symptoms of a Chalazion (meibomian gland cyst)? - e.g. firm, non-tender lump in the lid. The lump may have a history of previous infection.
- Symptoms of blepharitis? - e.g. eyelids have burning, itching and red margins, eyelashes may have crusting and scales, discharge or stickiness especially in the morning. If present for years there may be loss of eyelashes or distortion (in-growing) of the eyelashes. There may be a Staphylococcal bacterial infection which can cause severe inflammation with pus-like discharge.
- Symptoms of Ocular shingles? - e.g. pain, tingling and numbness around the eye may precede a blistering rash and eyelid swelling. Fifty percent of people have the eye itself affected with either corneal ulcers, episcleritis or iritis.
