You might try rolling your head over a bit to look at the edges of the field to keep your eye from straining sideways that much. After all, that's what you normally do--when you want to look left, you don't hold your head still and move your eyes, you move your head and look left.
But there is nothing inherent in the eyepiece that would lead to any symptoms such as described, so I'm guessing my explanation is probably correct.

Hi Don
First - I want to clarify that at no point in my original post did I even suggest there was any sort of fault with the eyepiece. This is something to do with me, my eye and the reason I am making these inquiries is, quite the opposite to being unhappy with the Ethos, I do in fact very much want to keep it and need to figure out how to go about this without my eye ache.
Now, a little back-story which I am wondering might be the easy answer. This is not the first time I have looked through an Ethos eyepiece. Interestingly, what I am now experiencing with my eye I previously felt about a year ago when I tried looking through the 21mm Ethos. Because it hurt my eye I didn't like the 21mm Ethos. At the same time I also looked through the 13mm Ethos and didn't feel this pain or at least ddn't notice anything like what I am currently experience. Hence why I wanted the 13mm Ethos
HOWEVER, the 13mm Ethos which I previously looked through was fitted with a Televue eye-guard extender. Consequently, I am wondering whether with the extender fitted to the Ethos my eye is placed at a suitable distance away wherein I am not incurring the eye-strain? I really hope this might be a simple answer to my problem in buying an extender
