Burning eyes upon waking up

Posted , 5 users are following.

My eyes usually burn whenever I wake up, and that has been going on for years. I usually rinse out my eyes but I'm not sure if that is a great choice. I have not gotten any treatment for it because I thought it was something a lot of people go through.

Lately my eyes have felt drier and kind of gritty, and sometimes the eyelids feel stuck. It could be caused by the meds I take, but I even have those symptoms when I don't take my meds.

My vision sometimes blurs, and I frequently see halos and starburst around lights, which has also been going on for years but I'm not sure if they are connected to my eyes burning or being dry.

Does anyone else experience these symptoms, and are they connected to each other? How do I deal with these symptoms?
