What Causes Burning Eyes After Stopping Marijuana?

I Have stopped smoking marijuana 3 days ago, after a 10 year habit. My eyes are burning today and really watery, like they can sometimes feel after a few puffs! Could this be related due to oxygen flow or something or should I see an optometrist invade its something else?

Hi thanks for asking question.
Yes this can be because of drug withdrawal.
Presentation of withdrawal symptoms differ in patient wise.
Here is some suggestion to you.
Take more fruit and water.
Because of sweating sometime potassium get depleted.so potasium containing food taken like bannana, orange , tomato etc.
Cranberry juice also going to be helpful.
So don't worry.marijuana doesn't cause much addiction.
So withdrawal symptoms not life thretning.
Stopped it.you may feel decrease sleep for few day.
Thanks
