Extreme burning sensation in eyes after antibacterial eye drops, is this normal?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Is this normal and could one eye having a worse sensation for longer indicate any other conditions?

Edit : Burning sensation lasts 1-2 minutes for left and 3-10 minutes for right

    Hi, Robert! I have once used eye drops to treat styes in both eyes, and it did indeed burn a lot for about 1 minute. I don't remember if one eye burned more than the other, but I certainly remember it being very uncomfortable. A discomfort that lasts up to 10 minutes seems unusual to me though, so you might want to talk to your doctor to make sure everything is okay.
