A member asked:
Sometimes i wake up between 3 and 5 am, and if i open my eyes, they sting very severely and feel like a grain of sand is in them. sometimes it is just one eye, sometimes both. it may be correlated with dehydration, but im not sure. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eye symptoms: Symptoms probably due to dry eyes. Also have to make sure there is full closure when sleeping. You might try a lubricating gel at bedtime. If symptoms persist you should see an ophthalmologist.
