"Acidic tears?"

[natasha1101]

I have a question regarding this burning stinging sensation that I have  several times a day. It seems like it always starts at the times when I can not wear my contacts (like right now) due to really strange problem of having foggy vision in one eye with the contact. Anyways, i had this problem before, every time when I am wearing glasses , not contacts my eyes especially left starts watering with tears and these tears burn my eye to the point where I have to park my car somewhere because I have to drive with one eye and this becomes very dangerous. What could possibly cause these "burning spells"?

I have a problem. Recently my tears or the surrounding area of my eyes. Have become dry and itchy. I am not able to wear make up in that area.  My tears burn.  And it looks and feel dry.  What can it be ir what can I use to solve this matter?

See your ophthalmologist after wearing contact lens so he can see the problem.

Thank you Dr.Ray  but I have neither, I was checked for this before I have normal tear production and no blepharitis. I nave to emphasize though that I have this problem only when I am NOT wering contacts, with contacts I am fine.

Many causes.  Blepharitis or dry eyes are probably the most common.

You need an eye exam by an ophthalmologist.
