Why do my eyes burn every time i wake up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably dry eyes: A likely possibility is dry eyes. Ocular lubricating ability is significantly decreased during sleep. Also if any slight gap between the closed eyelids is present, then an increased tear evaporation occurs. Fans, open windows,low humidity, sleep meds, antihistamines, decongestants, are some meds that can exacerbate drying. Try sleeping with a thick lubricant gel drop like Refresh liquigel™ at nite
