Why does it hurt to look in a certain direction?
I'm 22 years old and it hurts when I look up and down. Why does it hurt to look in a certain direction? Should I see a doctor?

See a doctor. There are many reasons, ranging from the flu to inflammation of the optic nerve.
It is normal to feel strain when looking in directions you don’t typically look. If you are having actual pain and/or double vision in different positions of gaze, see an eye doctor.
Yes. You should see an ophthalmologist. There are several conditions such as myositis, thyroid eye disease, a fracture, corneal infection, etc., that can lead to discomfort with eye movement. Please contact your doctor and arrange a consultation.
If it has been going on more than two or three days, would be a good idea to see an ophthalmologist.

Eye muscle problem.
Extreme eye movements may stretch your eye muscles and cause pain. If it is accompanied by poor vision and headaches, neuritis needs to be excluded.
