Can sinusitis cause burning eyes or in other words, dry eye?

Hi Pritesh,

I am having the same problem, so there may be a link:

Been to 5 ophthalmologists till date. None of them found anything wrong. Every time the diagnosis given was allergies. :|

Sadly thats what most docs do when they cant tell you the cause of the problem and sometimes say its all in a persons head. I hope you find some relief reading the tips and treatment ointments and techniques posted on this forum.

Sinusitis any dry eye's go hand in hand with me. I feel that the inflamation in the sinuses cause my eye inflamation, and eye inflamation seems to be the reason for dry eyes from what I have read. The only thing that is not clear is whether sinuses are causing the dry eyes or allergies are causing both.

i guess allergies cause an inflamed nose which results in sinusitis.
