Mary,
While I don't have an official lupus diagnosis...(doctors with different opinions) I also have the eye pain. Mine is maybe once or twice a month and only in my right eye. You described it just how mine feels. Like a sharp "thin"/size of a pencil pain from the back of my eye. I never had any pain until a couple of years ago, which is when much of my symptoms started unraveling more and more. I BELIEVE its related to my ongoing health issues. Its so infrequent that I haven't mentioned it to doctors. I can't get past my first couple of symptoms before most end the appt. I could live with it (if nothing could be done for it), but I know for me it is such an odd feeling that everytime it happens, I think oh that is so not normal. Let me know what your doctor thinks about it, if you mention it to him or her.
