Eye Strain

Does anyone else just feel like they'd like to keep their eyes closed.

  1. Yes. I use drops a lot but they don’t seem to help.

    1. yes, at first when it happened I thought I needed a nap. Like Wendy, I also have chronic dry eyes. Heavy eyes is one of its many symptoms. If you haven’t already done so, you might mention it to your doctor. It could be as simple as eye strain or another conditioning such as I have. Regards, Sharon Moore Patient Leader

      1. I saw the doctor yesterday. He says it’s dry eyes. He put plugs in my tear ducts to see if that would help. Also told me to use drops without preservatives more often. We’ll see how that goes. Thank you for your response.

        1. They are temporary until we see if they help. He said they should last about three months.
