My eyes burn!?

Question

Lately at random moments my eyes will burn really badly, kinda like the feeling when you have shampoo stuck in your eyes. They burn so bad that I cant even keep them open. What could it be?

Answer 1

perhaps you are using some bad eye makeup. and its sort of melting into your eyes.

maybe ask your doctor.

Answer 2

they might be dried out

try using eye drops that you can get without a prescription

Answer 3

-Makeup

-Contact Lenses?

-Are you rubbing/touching your eyes with clean hands?

-Are your eyes moist?

-Are you being affected by allergies/sudden changes in weather?

-Are you wearing sunglasses even when its cloudy?  UV rays can come it at all times and they HURT.

-Eye infection?

-Staring at a computer screen/TV set too long?

See a doctor though, if it persists.

Answer 4

I have had that before. It's called photophobia, and it only lasted a few days in my case. It's not a fear of light per se - basically its a sensitivity to light caused by an infection to the eye. I felt ridiculous walking around, even indoors, with sunnies, before i realised what condition i had.

Get some light sensitive eye drops from your local chemist, or get it checked out at your optometrist. Good luck!
