I think i have two problems on long trips in my car. For "dry eyes" i use the inexpensive bubble goggles from Simpson racing, so much more comfortable, i have both clear and smoked. Don't fog, cost about $10, when they get too scratched, i get another set. These are precisely what Dale Earnhardt wore to race, by the way. For shorter trips at ngiht, i have a pair of clear Gargoyes.

But i think part of my eye burning is actually too much sun on my retinas, as the goggles are not quite dark enough for my very sun sensitive eyes. So if i am driving towards the sun, i have to use sunglasses, wrap around Gargoyes. I can't find a hat that will stay on "at speed", but i just bought a Tilley, with a strap system, so i am going to try that now.

Anyway, for me, it seems to be both dry eyes and sun-irritated retinas.. I keep some prescription allergy Patanol eye drops in my car. On long trips, i also use foam ear plugs. Always amazes me how loud the car is when i take them out after awhile!!
