Q. What causes burning and redness in eye with blurred vision?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Since you mentioned that you get this problem every year, this suggests the cause as seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. This problem frequently causes dry eyes, which causes a feeling of burning sensation. So all these problems go hand in hand. To be honest, there is no permanent cure. But, this problem can be lessened and avoided by following the steps given below:

Avoid rubbing the eyes (is most important). Use over-the-counter anti-allergic drops like Olopatadine 0.1/0.2 % along with lubricants like Carboxymethylcellulose Acetate 0.5 % (these are mostly free of side-effects, so it can be used over prolonged periods). Close your eyes and apply ice cubes over them. Visit your ophthalmologists in case of the following. Pain, sticking together of eyelids, drop in vision, non-resolution of symptoms despite treatment for around 10 days.
