Stinging, Hot Eyes

I am in to week 3 and just this weekend I noticed that my eyes were starting to burn.  It happed both Saturday and Sunday when I begin to eat dinner.  My eyeballs seem to feel hot and sting or burn. Anyone else out there with "hot eyes"?

my doc gave me samples for dry eye drops and it helped. seems that mouth and eyes dry out as does skin etc. usually not a serious thing and easily treated

I did have an eye exam before I started tx and although my eyes are old, they are still in pretty good shape!  I have not worn any makeup except lipstick since I started.  Fortunately, I never have worn a lot of make up.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

it is recommended to get eye exam before tx. if u have serious condition such as this even better idea. oddly the meds to grow eyelashes like latisse are for glaucoma. the tx for hcv also does this i think the riba ...not sure if this has any connection but do get a check up.best, babs

I've been treating for 4 weeks now and haven't got that yet, but the first time I treated that always happened to me when I was tired.
Good luck joe
