Understanding the category of pain is the first step toward diagnosing and treating the issue.
If your eye hurts and you’reexperiencing a burning or itching sensation, this indicates ocular pain.
If your contact is dirty or irritating to your eye, this causes ocular pain as well.

In some instances, your left eye hurts because you’ve contracted conjunctivitis or experienced a corneal abrasion.
Unlike ocular pain, most conditions causing orbital pain require medical assistance to address, per Healthline.
