What can someone use in their eyes when they hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam, then tears: First step is to establish what is causing the discomfort. See an ophthalmologist for a thorough eye exam to determine the reason for the pain. In many cases, the use of over-the-counter drops called artificial tears, can be soothing to "sore" or "hurting" eyes. Examples of some good drops are systane, refresh optive, hypotears, genteal, soothe, among many others.
