In that case, the person doing the test would not be able to comment on your eye pain.  If you are examined by slit-lamp as well as having an OCT, the slit-lamp examiner may be an ophthalmologist so you could mention it to them. As the eye clinic have not previously found a reason for your pain, it is possible that your pain is coming from somewhere else near to your eye and you are experiencing it as eye pain (referred pain). For example, sinusitis is sometimes felt as eye pain. You should go back to your GP and ask them to continue unvestigating the cause of your pain.</blockquote>
