Working for an optometrist, I have to say first, always get this checked, just to be safe.
I never thought about this being connected to neuropathy, makes sense though, it can effect everything else in your body, why not your eyes. I have very dry eyes, sometimes they just sting a little, sometimes they are very gritty and sore. It comes and goes with the seasons...for now, we are having very nice weather, which causes a pollen that messes with my eyes. In the winter, the fans for the heaters cause dry eyes, driving causes dry eyes. I have been tested for Sjogrens and it came back negative. Some days I live with my Systane or Refresh bottle attached to my hand, sometimes I go a few days with no problems. For now, the burning is terrible. Hmmm, my feet are burning too, connected????
