burning is eyes is typicly caused by PH being to high, or too low. yours is 8.3.
to get your ph in a good place (7.4) you will need to add 58oz of 31.45 Muriatic acid. slowly into the water. stir up the water after introducing and retest.
your CYA levels are VERY high.. 150ppm is REALLY high, and not to be trusted. you should lower that to about 40ppm wich will require about 75% water change to be performed.
dont do this in one shot.
CYA will rise becouse you use chlorinating pucks. which adds, chlorine, and stabilizer, and maybe even calcium? to your water.
stabilizer is needed but, with levels over 40 ppm it requires extreme high chlorine levels. with a CYA level of 150ppm you need to maintain a minimum chlroine level of 11ppm just to keep your pool sanitized, and to make it worse, the more chlorine you add with the pucks the HIGHER the cya will get requiring MORE AND MORE chlorine!
I suggest you. start changing your water. do 3-4 25% water changes. bring your CYA down to 30-40ppm
stop using the pucks.
start using bleach. - unscented - liquid chlorine works too (same thing).
at 40 ppm you need a chlorine level of 3-7 to keep your cl in the normal range.
recheck your you PH level and keep it in th 7.2-7.8 range.
just my two cents.
