Dry eye, blurry vision, sensitive to light

[anxiousB]

My left eye feels uncomfortable for a few days now. I don't know how to explain the sensation I am feeling but my eye feels like it's pressured. The top and bottom of the eye feel like burning sensation. And now my left ear has the same burning sensation. I tried to put Ivizia eye drops and cover my eye with a warm cloth for 10 minutes but the relief was temporary. Within 15 minutes, the burning sensation is back. It isn't easy to look at my computer monitor at work. I don't wear contacts. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Your symptoms do not allow a focused list of possible problems. You will have to have your eyes examined by an ophthalmologist Eye MD or a non-MD optometrist. The burning in front of the ear is worrisome as sometimes Herpes Zoster (Shingles) starts out this way. Given the difficulty of getting in to see a physician I would start calling now.
