This terrible morning sensation can be caused by dry eye syndrome, an allergic reaction, blepharitis, pink eye, or even a foreign substance inside the eye. Sometimes you will also experience this burning feeling because your tear glands are clogged with dirt or bacteria and no longer producing the necessary tears and oils to retain moisture.
Luckily, there are remedies in place to treat your burning eyes easily. Seeing an optometrist who can examine your eyes and determine the cause of your burning eyes is the key to receiving an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Your optometrist may find that your tear glands are clogged and should be cleaned with Blephex or Lipiflow, in which case you should see a change in your eyes within a few days. In more severe cases, your eye doctor may prescribe you medicated eye drops.
There are also steps you can take at home to find relief and avoid triggers that could set off your burning eyes:
If you are tired of waking up to burning, red eyes, seek treatment from an optometrist to find long-lasting relief. True Eye Experts can help your mornings be pain-free, besides the annoying clang of the alarm clock
