Hi i had my diabetic eye test on wednesday and must admit the drops stung more this time than usual but since yesterday my eye lash area itches loads in both eyes and eyes ache and becoming sore ... is thus something that can happen or is it not related?
 
The eye drops can sting and make vision blurry for several hours after but I do wonder if you've had an allergic reaction to the drops and this is why you have some irritation, probably best that you go along to your pharmacy and speak with the pharmacist and see if they can give you something to help with the problem, either that or try and see a Dr if at all possible, just make sure when you have your next eye test to make them aware of this.

Thank you very much
 
Sorry to hear about your discomfort but if you can find out the cause it would be a great help to others. There was another instance being discussed on here recently and all the clinic nurses could say was that they had no idea what caused it. Not good enough.
 
Thank you ... i agree though that we need to know. If it continues i will go to my docs on tues but i must say its annoying both my eyes today and causing a headache x
