Brief Answer:
You need to wash your eyes and need to use artificial tears eye drops.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.


I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an Ophthamologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.

You need to wash your eyes with water and you can use artificial tears eye drops like Refresh tears eye drops for symptomatic relief.

If the symptoms persist even after washing the eye and using the artificial tears eye drops then eye examination is required to look for any foreign particle in the eye since you are having burning sensation on closing the eyes. This can be done by simple torch light examination by a optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Hope this answers your question and the information is helpful to you.


Thank you
