I would say either you are really really tired, or you have an allergy to something in your environment. Mine burn a lot when I am extremely tired.

Itching suggests some kind of allergic reaction, but it would be more likely to be both eyes together or neither, rather than one after the other. If there is any watery or sticky discharge it's probably a mild viral or bacterial infection, both of which usually clear up on their own within a week or so. \n\nIf you are a contact lens wearer, remove your lenses until you eyes are white and the itching has stopped.\n\nAs long as you're not in any pain, I wouldn't worry too much, I expect it will clear up on its own. You can use some lubricating eye drops like systane or hypromellose to make your eyes feel more comfortable. If it seems to be getting worse, starts to hurt, or doesn't clear up in a few days, go and see an optometrist (optician).

The inflammation you are experiencing is a sign of water retention.  Drink more water throughout the day to help flush it out, and try to cut back on your sodium/salt intake.  \nYou can also try alternating cold/hot compresses with a wet cloth for instant effects.  Puffiness under the eyes can be reduced by applying preparation H cream.  Sounds gross, I know, but it's a trick that works!

Check the glare on your moniter, it might be causing it.\n\nExcedrin does work wonders.  If you go to the doctors ask for Imitrex, they have both tablets and a nose spray.  Also, if you don't have any of those things, try an asprin or pain pill and drink a high dose of caffiene.  (IE Two glasses of Pepsi/Coke).  \n\nIf you don't have anything, Cold Compress in a Very Dark Room.

You better talk to your doctor, that's not normal. Lot's of things can cause it . It could be something as simple as needing glasses or it could be something a little more serious. \n\nGood luck to you:)

Sounds like whatever was in your eye may have scratched it. I got a metal sliver in my eye at work once, and they had to "grind" it out. My eye was sore for a week!!

I live in Arizona, and never had real problems with my contacts till I moved here.  Now I can't wear contacts at all, they irritate my eyes.  I went to the optometrist and asked what the heck is wrong with me and they said it was low tear production.  Well, to make a long story short, I don't wear contacts anymore but still have dry eye problems, especially in the morning.  In my opinion, there seems to be no really good solution because I feel like I've tried everything (from supplements to visine) and nothing "cures" the problem.  Sorry to sound so bleak...  Hope you find a good answer

Your eyes are getting dry . Because while staring at the monitor and you are not blinking as often as necessary to keep your eye sockets moist . You must remember to blink often or get eye moisturizing drops. \n\nI had that problem , ( not on house arrest ) I did go to my Dr and that's what I was told . My Dr. suggested I take a supplement known as flax- seed oil (gel tablets) because flax-seed helps promotes natural tears . But I also discovered other benefits of this product . Since you are on the computer often ,I suggest  , you investigate this product and other things that would/could improve your quality of life. Good Luck and May GOD bless you

I am having the exact same problem. I suffer from allergies but I was concerned about an eye infection. Went to the doctor and was told it was simply allergies and prescribed eye drops. Seems to be working and I can see a lot better.

Stay away from stressful situations.  Don't watch TC in the dark or stay up too late.  Sleep is important.\n\nIt sounds like you may be getting migrains and you may need to seek mediacal attention.  What you should do in the mean time is STAY in the dark, with a cool face cloth.  \n\nEat a well balanced diet, eat things in moderation, and include exercise in your daily routine.\n\nI am a previous sufferer of headaches.  Good luck!

Yep, your not the lone ranger.Those hot flush's really suck especialy when you can feel your face burning up and some old bag tells you how red your face is !and you hav't got the energy to tell them what's goin on. Try reading a book till you can get a bit of sleep or lavender oil -a few drops on your pillow is good.

I suffer from the same thing.\n\nIt's hives.  \n\nIt can be an allergic reaction - if you're having other symptoms of allergies like watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, then it could just be an extension of whatever you're allergic to.\n\nBut hives can be brought on by heat without an allergic reaction.  Nobody knows for sure why it happens in the absence of other allergies.  But heat brings blood to the surface of the skin and allows hives to develop.\n\nIf you scratch them, they will spread.  Sometimes mine itch when they're just flat red wheals, and sometimes they don't... but if I so much as touch a wheal before it swells, POOF! Not only does it swell and itch a lot worse, but it tells all its friends and neighbors, and it spreads like wildfire.\n\nI have had chronic hives for 6 months now - due to allergies.  I take a Claritin and a Singulair every day, and it still doesn't completely get rid of them.  I am undergoing allergy shots.\n\nOne other thing you can do is to get some Ivarest. You can find it at Walgreens. I've tried everything else on the market, and only Ivarest keeps the hives down for longer than an hour or so.  It's a little more expensive, but a tube will last me several weeks, instead of just a day or two like a tube of Benadryl cream.\n\nYou can also take Benadryl before a shower to help keep the hives down to a minimum.\n\nIf you don't get relief of them within about six weeks, go to the doctor and get tested for allergies.

It sounds like just an infection.  The best thing to do is not wear your contacts for a few days.  Even if your eye goes back to normal its best to wait another day or two afterwords before using your contacts again.  If these symptoms don't subside, i would seriously recommend seeing an eye doctor.

You may be able to cry when you are upset but that has nothing to do with whether or not your eye is dry.  I suggest buying some eye drops to start off with then if that doesn't work, go see the eye doctor.  It may be nothing but it's worth taking the time to be sure.  Your sight is valuable to you, is it not?

Poison Ivy can be very dangerous, I have it in my backyard. Put coritzone cream on your arm and flush your eye thoroughly. Maybe put a very subtle, light, moisturizer to keep your eye from swelling or becoming irritated and red.
