It's normal to have discomfort from the eye drops after surgery and as stated before most of the time the pain from drops goes away quickly. Refrigeration of eye drops as well as adding preservative free artificial tears to your regimen are two easy ways to help ease the burning and stinging.

  Finally, remember to let your ophthalmologist or optometrist know if the burning is severe so that they can examine you and let you know if there are any other options.
