David, please check with your doctor.  You might have an eye infection.

Just recently, I took care of a patient who had the same complaint you're
expressing.  He, too, had been using an  over-the-counter eye moisturizer
and asked if I wouldn't mind administering his eye drops.  One look at his
eyes had me rushing to the phone to page a doctor - he had a severe case of
conjunctivitis.
