That’s the best possible reaction to this :)

I will admit that since I’ve started wearing glasses, my eyes often burn really badly (I don’t know if they’re related or just weird timing), and I sometimes wonder if my little friends are pissed about the change and getting into my eyes. Lol

You may be allergic to the metal (IIRC nickel) in normal metal glasses if that’s what you have. For people with that, which is common, titanium is the only metal kind that will work.

They’re from Zenni, but they have no bottom frame. I have no idea what metal they’re made of. I’d really never considered that

I figure you’d also have a rash if it was a sensitivity strong enough to make your eyes burn, but the only other things I could think of I feel you’d already have figured out… Not blinking enough cause no wind on your eyes to help trigger blinking, eyelashes getting in your eye, or eye fatigue from the correction and not taking breaks to look at something far away…

I wonder if the lenses are off gassing? They’re a type of plastic. But most likely I think I just have a face that the US would try to deliver democracy to if they found out about lmao

Maybe you’re allergic to something in your glasses

That’s interesting. I hadn’t really considered that. It really only happens towards the end of the day, I just assumed it was a buildup of oils/skin cells/daily detritus that isn’t getting either blown away by air, because the lenses are blocking it, or dried out for the same reason. They’re Zenni frames and lenses
