Fuzzy, burning in eyes
by nat26jes, Apr 27, 2007 12:00AM
About three years ago, my daughter was brushing my hair, and she "brushed" my right eye. It was painful for about a week. Now sometimes the eye is very blury or fuzzy to the point where it hurts to read, or even drive. Is there anything that can be done? Also, every now and then, my eyes feel like they are burning. Especially when I am driving. They start to water and go fuzzy to the point that I half to pull over until it passes. I know that it isnt the sun, because it happens at night also. If anyone know how to help me, please let me know.

those are probably not related events. those are probably mutually exclusive events.

you're going to need an eye examination from an eye care professional (ophthalmologist or optometrist) to figure this out. could be anything from refractive error (need for glasses) to inflammatory conditions and a myriad of other problems.
i wouldnt consider this emergent, but i am going to suggest you schedule an eye examination.
