Lubricant eye drops that will help my condition

[lucho007]

I've tried many types of lubricant eye drops but it seems that i'm allergic to all of them. Everyone of them makes me feel like a burning sensation in my eyes that last more than 30 min

Preservative free artificial tears might be a solution.  In my opinion it is imperative that you have a very complete exam with an ophthalmologist to try to determine exactly what your problem is. Perhaps it is something other than dry eye syndrome.  If indeed, you do have bad dry eyes, it is not unusual to be so senstive to drops.  Sometimes there is also lid margin disease or severe allergies and treating them properly may help the overall sitaution.

Someone told me that many of the bottle drops have preservatives in them and I started to use the individual vials of eye lubricating drops because they are in sterile containers and don't need the preservatives. This seems more comfortable.
I am not a doctor, but hope this information is helpful.
