Why do my eyes sting out of nowhere while wearing glasses?

Question

Sometimes I'll just be on the computer, or just doing whatever and my eyes start stinging. This is while I'm wearing my eyeglasses. I've just always been curious as to why this happens. It just occurs like, RANDOMLY.

Answer 1

they are probably dry

Answer 2

Moisturizing eye drops should help.  Some people have a condition known as "dry eye syndrome" for which there are prescription eye drops.  Sometimes eye strain will cause that burning feeling in the eyes.  Try over the counter eye drops first and if that doesn't help then see your ophthalmologist to have your eyes and eyeglasses thoroughly checked out.

Answer 3

Besides dry eyes, lots of different things you smell have chemicals in them that cause the eyes to sting.
