Why do my eyes feel weird looking at certain objects?

Recently, I have discovered this new feeling related to my eyes. The feeling is hard to discribe but its quite strange.

When I look at certain objects such as trees, spears or anything pointy/sharp, I get this feeling within my eyes. This feeling forces me to look away from the object. I wouldnt call the feeling pain its more discomfort.

Sounds really weird but I dont have a clue what it could be related too. If I had to discribe the feeling, imagin someone holding a pin to your eye and slowing moving it forward, your reaction would be to look away, thats the best I can discribe it.

Hope you can help.

Hello I've been trying to scroll through the bottom. I have this problem but its my nose? Whenever I look at something pointy it hurts my nose. Its been worse and worse lately especially when I wake up. I have to press my nose in or cause physical pain for it to go away. Its keeping me away and this is like the only thing similar I can find on the internet.
