  5. Ive been having this constant cold feeling in my eyes, almost like a menthol sensation. Its hard to keep them open for long, and I keep squeezing them for relief. Its similar to the cooling feeling you get when something like acetone evaporates on your skin. Air seems to irritate my eyes even more, and its becoming really debilitating. What could be causing this, and how can I manage it?

This sensation in your eyes could be due to dry eye syndrome. I recommend using artificial tears eye drops, such as Systane Ultra, 1-2 drops in each eye 4 times a day. Additionally, you can use a warm compress over your eyes for relief. If the symptoms persist, consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation.
