My eyes have been burning a lot recently.

I'm not sure how else to describe the feeling, they're a tad dry and I'm using Systane Ultra eyedrops, but even then they're still burning (I can especially feel it when I close my eyes).

It only started last week when I started writing my final essays. I've been incredibly stressed out lately with exams this week and essays. I do wear glasses, however, only the lowest prescription possible. I've been wearing them for about two years. He advised me to only wear them when reading/watching tv/computer, but I grew into the habit of wearing them all day.  I doubt that's the reason considering I've been doing this for 2 years and symptoms only began to show up last week.

I've been sleeping alright. Last week I believe it was due to fatigue because after two days of sleeping well it went away and I felt fine. Then it began again a few days ago and hasn't gone away since despite the fact that I've been getting a lot of sleep.

Is it possible that I need a new prescription for my glasses?

Get checked for new glasses and a general ophthalmologic check up to make sure nothing else is going on.

Ah, I also have horrible headaches because of this.
