What is Sore Eyes?

 

I can tell only from own experience of sore eyes and it is happening to me usually in spring. The reason behind is allergy against pollution or so called hay fever. When I was a child I did not understand why starting from the most beautiful and my favourite season Spring it brought only badness to me. One day to another suddenly my eyes started to itch with a feeling of sand in my eyes. Despite of rubbing my eyes the itchiness got worse than better. The more I was rubbing the more tears and swelling I had of my eye lids. In the morning I woke up and was not able to open my eyes because my eyelashes were stuck together with dried tears.

 

What advice can you give to deal with eye strain or irritation? Especially for those who spend a lot of time on screens

 

One of the commonest irritation source for many is working on computer and staring at the monitor, often people use their smart phones instead of computer or laptop that is why small screen, we need to bring phone close to eyes as the tests could be too small and reading a lot of tests. That often makes our eye tear but also some people may develop headache too.

If you are a person who does a lot of work in front of screen, I advice to:

• buy desktop or laptop because then working is much easier, faster and it will not too too much time for your to finish your work

• at least once a day do our in nature because you eyes need different environment for the muscles of eyes to do different type of job and to train

• do use a room with good light, especially daylight

• have a good sleep and do not work in the night

 

What tips do you have for them?

 

My grandmother is using black tea bags as calming and relief for tired eyes, you need to apply for about 5 minutes and just lie and relax.

The other helpful remedy especially like in my case when someone has itchy eyes due to hay fever you can use anti-allergy drops, that almost immediately reduce redness and feeling of sand in eyes.

Try to have regular been outside and maybe even stop using computer for a day or two.

Hope it will help you to get relief from sore eyes.
