This can happen if the tears lack certain nutrients or have too many inflammatory components. To alleviate the burning sensation, you can try using preservative-free artificial tears or consult with an eye care professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Tears are typically warm because they are produced by the lacrimal glands, which are located near the eye.
