A member asked:
I was about to smoke, the flame of the lighter as it lit up, the light made me feel a slight pain in my eyes as i stared at it, what can this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry eye: As you stare at something, the surface of the eye dries up. When this happens, the eye is much more sensitive to things like light, smoke and wind.
