Excessive watering and burning of eyes

[Buena]

Help! I have been vaping over 2 years. Just last week, my eyes have become excessively watering and burning. I changed to less Pg, more VG, but it hasn't helped. Has anyone had a problem and what did they do? Also using an eye drop which hasn't helped at all.

Please, please advise......thank you!!

Either you have suddenly developed an allergy (possible), or there is something new introduced in the last week? Can you vape pure vg without a reaction? Try some glycerin from the drug store.

When I exhale the vapor out my nose it rises up to my eyes and I get the burning most of the day but not so much the watering. Just a thought.

It's allergy season, might be unrelated to vape.

This was what happened to me. I had just stepped up to an RDA and all of a sudden my eyes began burning every day and basically becoming waterfalls. I finally called my eye doctor and she ended up saying I had a condition known as episcleritis(severe inflammation of the top layer of the eye) and it was made worse by my allergies. I asked her if vaping had anything to do with it and she said "There is always the possibility, but I would say it is totally unrelated." If possible, try to stop vaping for a few days and see if it goes away. If it goes away, it is possibly the vaping causing it. To rule out it just being the allergens in the air, I would go back to vaping again and just see if it starts right back up. If it does, you can be pretty sure it is related to vaping.

My allergies are flaring up big time. For the past few weeks everything outside has been coated in green pollen.

A few weeks ago my wife had severe watering itchy eyes, like she's never had before in the 12 years that I've known her. She tried regular extra strength eye drops, didn't work. The only thing that helped was antihistamine eye drops(alaway). All that to say, this seems to be an exceptionally bad allergy season.

If I try to even a couple of hours without, I'll go back to smoking.....cannot do either! Thanks for all your suggestions. I'm hoping it is just a bad allergy season!

It's been ages since I've seen an allergy season as bad as this one, so I'd put money on it being allergies.

It could quite possibly be allergies. I know that mine are really bad right now, and I am hitting the Benadryl like nobody's business. Problem is that it tends to dry my mouth, eyes, etc., so I have had to really up my liquid intake between vaping and antihistamines.

Are you on any medications that could possibly be contributing? There are medications, other than antihistamines, that can cause dry mouth, dry eyes, etc. I have a tendency toward having dry eyes, myself, and really need to watch my liquid intake when I take antihistamines or other medications for more than a few days.
