Zinc and Eyes
Anyone else experience sensations / mild, brief twinges of discomfort in your eyes when taking zinc supplements? In general, in the 2nd week I was just more aware of sensations in my eyes off and on throughout the day which I have never felt before. I have tried Integrative Therapeutics and Doctor's Best zinc carnosine. I had only been taking 5 to 8 mg as I divided up the capsules into other capsules & I took it for about 2 weeks with dinner. I stopped it one week ago. I noticed eye symptoms again last night after eating lamb for dinner to the point that I took out my contacts. I eat lamb and turkey daily and see that they can be high in zinc. I did not start any other supplements recently. Any feedback is appreciated.

That was something I'm not familiar with so I did a search and found this:
