 [ Symptoms ] why do my eyes sting after i cry  i have always had issues with after having a cry fest of my eyes stinging and burning it is very uncomfortable and i would like to know what causes it i have drops but it does not always get rid of it [ Disease ] do you rub them a lot or possibly wipe them with tissue it could be creating raw skin that then does not react well to the salt in the tears next time you have a good cry see if blotting the tears without rubbing helps
