Anyone with LPR (Silent Reflux) experienced irritated eyes?

Hi everyone, I have been experiencing irritated (burning and strained eyes that make a clicking sound when I blink them) for the past 13 months. Did multiple allergy courses, got a paranasal CT scan and allergy test and everything seemed to be clear. Recently I started experiencing Post Nasal Drip, excessive phlegm and globus in my throat (on the left side) and my left ear also randomly feels like it's closing and opening.

I started searching the symptoms and learnt about LPR and I am pretty certain I have that. The only symptom that I haven't really seen people talk about is irritated eyes (although there are some studies suggesting the correlation).

Tldr; has anyone with LPR experienced irritated/burning eyes and/or random foreign body sensations in the eyes? Or anyone who has seen someone else experience it?

    I don't know for sure that I have LRP but doctors think I have silent reflux (not confirmed). I also get burning feeling in my eyes, not loads, but occasionally. It reminds me of when my mum used to use a deep fat fryer in the house when I was young and you'd feel like the fat was getting in your eyes! I have had this for a while but doctor only started seriously considering LRP as I also have feelings of excessive phlegm in throat and feel constant need to clear my throat, its especially worse after eating. Like you allergy tests are clear, I have asthma but my peak flow scores are totally normal, so now exploring LRP.
