Hey Sammie welcome to NMP.

I don't know anything about you're eye problem other than I think you should see a professional you're eyes are something you don't want to mess around with.

If you are having a big problem with them then go get the checked asap!

Sorry I cannot be of much help.

All the best,

Sparks.

Hi Sparkie. Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah i went for my eyes tested and it turned out i just needed reading glasses. I mentioned about the lights infront of my eyes and he said " well dont look at bright lights"... Im thinking this may be a phobia im creating. I hope it isnt. Who knows.. Maybe it will go in afew days. Maybe if i dont think about when my eyes are closed it may go xx

Hi I have burning eyes too, mine comes and goes and I have put this down to anxiety. My dad has Glucoma so your've guessed it, I thought I was getting this too! Because it comes and goes I'm just monitoring it at the moment, may see an optician if it continues! or the doc !!

Hi Sammie,

Welcome to NMP. Many here will understand how you are feeling and will give their support. it could be from all the heat that is being used for the winter. If it continues to bother you I would go see your eye doctor. Hope you feel better soon. So glad you found us.

Best wishes,

Laura
