So you have that dry eye feeling? Not sure how dry your eyes are? Well, I thought I would give you a description of how my eyes are feeling right now.
First some context - up until this time last week I was using my laptop for maybe an hour a day and my eyes had been feeling good, I have two small children and was able to tend to them during the night as well without my eyelids sticking to my eyeballs (I know yuck - but that's the sensation).
Since last week I have been using my laptop for maybe 4/5 hours a day (more in the evenings and during the day when kids are playing) - as I've been developing this blog and learning about blogging.
My eyes have been feeling progressively drier since then. I've not been able to try my new daily disposable contact lenses as I'm too scared to put them in - although they are meant to be good for dry eyes - they are called Acuvue Trueye.
I've had to eye drops more often than usual to help my dry eyes, especially so in the evening. Without the drops they feel 'shriveled' as if the skin around my eyes is doing it's best to stay open. My right eye is feeling much worse and compared to my left looks slightly closed. But the moment I use the drops my eyes are revitalised and instantly open up, although for me this optimal state lasts a few mintues before the dryness starts settling in again.
The eyesight from right eye is also slightly blurred (although I know this is temporary as the eye drops clear it up again).
So that's how dry eye my eyes feel right now! More from me soon :).
Oh my... my eyes have never been that dry. The worst mine get is when I watch tv all weekend then I have tears come out like nonstop for a few hours.
ReplyDeleteAnnoying yes, but nothing like that.
