What Causes Burning Sensation Around The Eyes?

I have been using Brimonidine Tartrate Opthamalic Solution .2% for a couple of years. Today and a few weeks ago I experienced burning red area all around the outside of both eyes, left eyelid was swollen and resembled a large burn blister, right eyelid was swollen, but not as bad When the redness and swelling subsided, the red skin began to slough off very similar to a bad sunburn. Today i am experiencing nearly the same symptoms. The difference the left eyelid has the swelling, but without the blister. Eyes are dry, irritated, and sensitive to light.

I researched Brimonidine, and believe my symptoms are the same or nearly the same as the contra
indications described on WedMD. Thankyou for your help.
