An eye pressure of 26 with burning and pain after recent eye surgery is often due to elevated pressure, along with dryness and strain during healing. Try using your eye drops exactly as advised without missing doses. Keep your eyes moist by blinking frequently and maintaining a clean environment, and avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can worsen irritation. Limiting screen time and taking regular breaks can also help your eyes recover more quickly. Watch for symptoms like worsening pain, blurred vision, or halos around lights. Consult your doctor to review your pressure and adjust treatment if needed.
