TMJ-Related Eye Pain

About Eye Pain & TMJ Treatment

We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, which can manifest in surprising ways—one of them being eye pain. If you’ve been experiencing unexplained discomfort around the eyes, it may be linked to TMJ dysfunction.

What is Eye Pain in Relation to TMJ?

TMJ disorders not only affect the jaw but can also lead to radiating pain that impacts other areas of the face, including the eyes. This occurs because the muscles and nerves in the jaw and face are interconnected. TMJ dysfunction can cause strain and inflammation in the muscles surrounding the eye, resulting in a dull, aching, or even sharp pain. This discomfort may feel like eye strain or a headache centered around the eyes, yet the root cause may actually be the TMJ.

Symptoms of TMJ-Related Eye Pain:

• Persistent or intermittent pain behind or around the eyes
• Pressure or aching sensation that may resemble eye strain
• Sensitivity to light
• Blurred vision or difficulty focusing
• Headaches or facial pain accompanying the eye discomfort
