I get it alot too. I have blepharitis so my eyes are always dry. I use the optrex spray for dry eyes and warm cotton wool pads too when burning. I have times when my vision goes blurred too. I'm trying to get rid of an eye infection too, GP said my other eye looked sore, I said yeah cos I'm not sleeping much due to hip pain and GP ignored me. Think it's one illness per appointment these days! Grr.

Hi Helen, i have Rheumatiod Arthritis and my eyes are painful, dry, burning, stuck together every morning, my doctor has given me a Gel rather than the drops as my optition recomemded it. It has helped, speak to your GP. A humidifier at night has also helped.

I had this. I went to my eye doctor and she said that my tear ducts were blocked. So she put me on a regiment of putting hot compresses on my eyelids for at least 5 minutes twice a day and then to wipe my eyes with a lid scrub.

I'm in my second month. It has helped me. I still have another month to go though. I do have a dry eye drop that she has recommended which I use.

Also allergies messes me up on occasion and causes this.

I have had problems with my eyes, dry eye included. I have had good results from taking fish oil. I take 500 mg of Mega Red Omega 3 Krill oil daily. No "fish burps" with this at all. I know someone who takes 1,000 mg because their eye doc recommended it. Always consult with your primary doctor first. I initially started on it for "heart healthy" reasons.

I get this quite often. I use optrex anti itch drops and most of the time it eases it. If they’re not to hand I lay with warm cotton pads on my eyes (makes my kids think I’m having a pamper session. Pfft, if only). Occasionally I just have to persevere.
