why eye drops burn, but being under a shower doesn’t?
In: Chemistry
That would depend on the eye drops….I use Refresh Tears regularly (like once a day) cause I have minor dry eye from PRK and I’ve never experienced burning….regular water from a shower is *definitely* more irritating to my eyes.
Whatever brand of drops you’re using may have something in them that irritates your eyes – as in this would likely be a personal issue. Alternatively drops with different purposes (such as medical, or some form of antibiotic drop or numbing drops or something) are likely to cause some discomfort due to the extra chemicals used to achieve the necessary purpose.
