TMJ Eye Pain & How We Can Help

Understanding Eye Pain and TMJ Disorders

TMJ-Related Eye Pain Treatment

Suffering from Unexplained Eye Pain?

Eye pain can be a troubling symptom for those with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The TMJ, which connects the lower jaw to the skull, plays a key role in facial movement. When this joint is dysfunctional, it can cause pain in various areas, including around or behind the eyes. This pain occurs due to the interconnected muscles and nerves in the jaw and face, which often leads to discomfort radiating to the eyes. Because of this, TMJ-related eye pain is frequently mistaken for migraines or sinus issues, making accurate diagnosis essential.

Symptoms of Eye Pain Related to TMJ

Eye pain from TMJ disorders often includes a dull ache behind the eyes, pressure, light sensitivity, and sometimes blurred vision. Sharp pain that worsens with jaw movements like chewing or talking can also occur. Many patients notice additional TMJ symptoms, such as jaw clicking, facial tenderness, and headaches. Since the nerves connected to the TMJ influence eye sensations, resolving TMJ issues is key to relieving this type of eye discomfort.
