Why did my eyes burn when i put eye drops in my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any eye drops : Can cause irritation, especially with certain "get the red out" drops. Some patients are particularly sensitive to the preservatives in eye drops. You might want to try preservative-free lubricanat drops to see if that helps.
