Dry eyes, red eyes
I am suffering from dry eyes. I couldn't read a book more than 15 minutes due to this. Eyes are becoming red. After 15 minutes, my eyes are closing and inducing sleep. I believe dry eyes is behind that. I tried eye drops, but their effect is only for 15 to 20 minutes.
Could you please suggest any remeady for this?
Note: pollution is not a cause, since I spend very little time outdoor. My commute is only for 5 minutes. Summer heat is also ruled out, as I stay in air conditioned room.
Staying constantly in A/c is the root cause of your problem.are you a regular computer user if so it might be computer vision syndrome please use lubricant eye drops e.g. teardrop 2to3 times daily and rub ocupol d's eye oint twice daily on lids and do cold compresses with ice
