burning eyes
Allergy symptom, ocular
Burning eyes describes a stinging, irritated sensation in the eyes—from smoke, allergies, exhaustion, or staring at screens too long.
The phrase also suggests intense emotion: eyes that burn with anger, desire, or fever.
Someone with burning eyes might be fighting back tears, glaring fiercely, or simply in need of sleep: She rubbed her burning eyes after hours at the computer.
