Can Cracked Cocaine And Crystal Meth Smoke Cause Burning In Eyes?

I work with high risk youth.. I have also had small holes drilled in my eyes to relive pressure. I was wondering if crack or meth smoke would cause my eyes to burn. It was very difficult to say what it smelt like because my eyes burnt so bad I had to leave the premises.

Hello
It seems from the history that you were exposed to crystal meth smoke and cracked cocaine.
The exposure to these can lead to irritation and burning in the eyes. The treatment is by saline eye wash and use of antibiotics and artificial tears eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.

Thank you
