Hello Boxnox,
Your 'hot, itchy, painful eyes' are not related to macular degeneration.
You may have something called 'dry eyes'. This is nothing to do with dry macular degeneration.
If the symptoms persist then I suggest that you seek advice from your optometrist at your local optician.
The Macular Society have a factsheet about 'dry eyes'. If you would like a copy, please email your request to help@macularsociety.org
Best wishes
