AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON STINGING EYES

The eyes generally sting one hour after a meal, during the sour phase of digestion. In this phase, acid production in the stomach cause an 'alkaline tide' in the blood. Stinging eyes are a sign of these changes in blood chemistry.

The eyes may also sting late in the evening (after 9pm) when the eyes are tired and the liver becomes active. You may notice increased sensitivity to bright lights during this time of night.
