No, it's a corneal erosion issue. Moving air dries out the surface of my cornea, and sticks to the back of my eyelid. No biggie if I wake up slowly and realize it, and can force myself to tear up. If I get startled awake (I have a 5 year old son, so yeah) or sleep too deeply and rub my face into the pillow, I can rip 60-80% of the surface of my cornea off. For about 3-4 hours, I'd honestly prefer to break my leg again. After about 4 hours the burning pain goes away, but my depth perception is messed up for 3-5 days.
