Burning eyes

[Kitten]

My eyes drive me nuts. They burn more often than they don't...I use eyedrops, but they still do it....year round, they are so dry that I don't wear much makeup...I just rub it all before lunch. And when I rub, there are no tears they are so dry....anyone else have this problem?



its driving my crazy!

theres these drops called natures tears......they work better then most.

have you had lasik? Do you wear contacts??

Wear an eye patch. On both eyes.

do u wear contacts?
if u do are they the soft ones? that could be ur cause of dry eyes - switch to hard ones and it will feel much better (no dryness)
also maybe it's allergies related (either dust/pollen/hair etc or makeup and such)... try get some antihistamines for a while see if it helps...
did u have it for a long time (the dryness)? maybe u have some probs with ur tear ducts or sacs that store the fluid?
go to an ophtamologist and let him check ya out...
could be also some sort of infection, but if u had it for a long period of time it's unlikely...
also if u sit in front of the computer a lot, try taking breaks every 10-15 mins... look around the room etc...

Thanks guys......and Loco...like I said, my eyes burn and are dry....I had to read your response in incerments...hehee...just teasing. I am going to go to the dr, I can't take it any more. It prolly is allergies, it used to happen to me off and on all the time. But they have been bothering me alomost every day now for months.

[SUGARBABY]
