Steroids really mess with my vision too. I'm on them now & can't see worth a flip.

There could be several reasons for your eye pain other than just MS symptoms, especially while on steroids. I get increased pressure in my eyes so you should probably try to see an Opthomologist to get that checked. It took me years to figure out that my blood sugar & BP go up while using steroids & that also affects my vision.

Last & easiest, is that my eyes, left one in particular, don't produce enough tears & they get really dry. I didn't realize that could cause pain but it does. So, I use lots of lubricating eye drops, like Refresh or Optima, when I'm on the 'roids.

I know doctors can get frustrating when you can't get a real answer but don't let it get in the way of your vision. If you still are having pain try to see an Opthomologist as soon as you can.

Good luck & hope this helps some.
