Symptom 7. Burning Sensation
A burning sensation in the eyes is another common symptom of dry eye syndrome. This discomfort can arise when the eye’s surface is not adequately protected by a healthy tear film, exposing sensitive nerve endings to irritants, allergens, or environmental factors.
To alleviate the burning sensation associated with dry eye syndrome, it’s essential to address the root cause of the issue. This may involve using artificial tears or lubricating eye drops to replenish moisture, adjusting your environment to reduce exposure to irritants, or seeking medical treatment for underlying conditions that contribute to dry eyes.
Practicing proper eye hygiene, such as cleaning your eyelids and lashes regularly and avoiding rubbing your eyes, can also help prevent irritation and reduce the burning sensation. (4)
