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

TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre Changed my life! I didn’t know how much I was suffering until Dr. B and his team helped me through the treatment program. As someone doesn’t trust many doctors, Dr. B and his team talked me through every step of the process and made me feel comfortable. They truly personalize the plan and provide the best care I have ever experienced from a doctor. They did refer me to another doctor to finalize my treatment and that doctor is fantastic as well. You can tell the Dr. B wants to give every patient the best care possible and won’t refer you to just anyone. I completed the program about 2 months ago and I can not believe how great I feel! I have the energy I had in high school again! They are making it possible for me to do things I only dreamed of. It’s truly life changing! I would highly recommend this team to anyone.
