Suggest Treatment For Eye Burning Sensation

Last week, I saw the optometrist. He said my eyes had changed and that my current subscription was too strong for my eyes so he prescribed me another subscription. But now I seem to have burning sensations, my eyes water a lot, and they seem to be dry. I also noticed that I have been squeezing my eyes shut a lot lately and can t seem to stop. What would be causing this?
