Read the passage. What does Macbeth mean when he says, "Thy crown does sear mine eye-balls”?

Macbeth is speaking figuratively: the crown “sears” his eyes because the thought or sight of it is painful and troubling to him. In context, he sees the crown as something that causes distress, not as a source of literal brightness or a headache. The best answer is “The sight of the crown distresses him.”
