What causes painful eye after sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be blepharitis: Blepharitis causes closure of the meibomian gland orifices and inflammation of the eyelids. During sleep the inspissated oil gets out and it is stale & like poison. It will make your eyes very red and painful. If you wake up with very red eyes and pain that is it. It may be of other causes too. Must see an ophthalmologist for proper DX and rx.
