A member asked:

Lately, my eyes have been red and burning. it does seem to you maybe get better with hydration but its even worse when i start to tear from it. any idea what this might be? i would be very grateful and appreciative for some help. thank you?

This is likely to be dry eyes. I suggest maintain adequate hydration (females 3 Liters/day and males 4 liters/day) all liquids except alcohol count. Next frequent use of preservative free artificial tears 5-6 x per day. If this does not help seek an exam with an ophthalmologist.
