Question: Why does my lacrimal bone hurt and what should i do about it? When I close my eyes, or rub my eyes, i feel a pain on to what i believe is my lacrimal bone.

What can i do to make it feel better and is it something that i should worry about or go to the doctor for?

Answer: the bone underneath your eye is actually your orbital bone. you should consult your optician or doctor to be on the safe side and make sure nothing is wrong. In the mean time a cool compress may help with the pain
