Default Eyes Burning
Has anyone else had any experience with burning eyes? I thought it was make up related but I have not worn make up in a few days and every morning I wake up with my eyes burning...

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.

Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.

Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)

Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture

Have you had your eyes tested for vision issues? I did not have the burning so much - but the pressure on my eyes was unbearable.

I had my eyes tested just after my accident - my optometrist did not see anything - 1 year later went to a neuro-opt. - he did the same test and had proof of intercranial pressure on the optic nerve.

Now going through Vision Therapy.

I have had my vision tested and I do have ICP... is that what is causing it?

Are you on any new medication? Some of them can cause eye pain/burning.

Don't know - check with your doc. Also - did you have your eyes tested or vision tested - big difference. My first optometrist saw nothing - the second - a neuro-optometrist - compared her pics from his - showed that there was ICP.

I wake up with me eyes red dry and burning and blurry, and a feeling of pressure in face and eyes with face red. Doctors laughed at me until I showed up with half of face red and he said wow, it really is half red. I love those moments.

Some TBI patients experience dry, burning eyes due to a decrease in their blink rate.

Does it help?

I have to use artificial saliva spray because nerve damage has shut down the glands in my mouth.

What can't this injury do, eh?
