any advice for tired or bleary eyes


Posted: Jun 11, 2014

By the end of my shift sometimes, my eyes just ache.  I have gone back to wearing my glasses instead of my contacts to see if that helps.  I enlarge the font and have good lighting but by the end of the day, they just ache

I was having the same problem. I work 12 hour days. I had to add the no glare to my glasses. Very costly but well worth it. Solved my problem.

A few years ago the surface of my eyes began drying out, and I would notice this especially when I first woke up, when the humidity got really low, and when I'd been staring at the computer for along time (as in every work day!) It can be very painful, like I have glass in my eyes. I started using "artificial tears" drops when I first get up and keep them at my desk and it's made a world of difference. Doesn't matter what name brand you get, they all work and are basically salt water. Something you might try.

If you don't have a non-glare screen, you can purchase an attachment to put on it. Glare is more tiring than you realize.

Dry eyes are a problem when doing this, because our eyes are on alert when proofing our screens. Try to remember to do a hard blink once in a while--as in shut your eyes tight and scrunch them so tears get generated.

Allergens are very attracted to dry eyes and adhere to them, so it could be an allergy kicking in as well.

One is called Systane ultra high performance that is a lubricant eye drop and another is Lastacaft for itching because that is a problem when you have dry eyes, too.

My Eyes.Jan 05, 2010
All of the sudden, a couple of days ago, I noticed that my vision is extremely blurry after I stop working.  I can see the computer screen just fine, but when I look away I have to squint and can hardly see.  I'm also having some double vision. After a couple of hours, it gets better and I can see normally again.  This just started and it happens very soon after I start working.  I have increased the text size on my screen and increased the light in the room to try to l ...

Red Dog EyesJun 10, 2010
My stepfather's dog has had redness of her eyes for some months now.  She does not attempt to scratch at them and shows no sign of being in any kind of distress.  He takes such wonderful care of his pets, and I am there much of the time.  I have encouraged him on several occasions to just check it out to be safe.  He is not a worrier and says he thinks she is okay, and that it must be an allergy.  I have mentioned it nicely several times and don't know what el ...

Paul Ryan's Eyes -- Seriously....Mar 10, 2013
Am I the only one who thinks there is something seriously off about Paul Ryan's eyes?  Years ago, I read that when the whites of the eyes show below the irises, it's an indication of something--I can't remember quite what, but I think it was a negative thing.  That look has always given me a bit of a chill.  I believe some thyroid conditions cause a similar look, so maybe that's it.   ...

My Eyes Are Already Scanning The World,Mar 08, 2014
Just saw something on TV which helps people be speed readers, working started slowly and then got up to 600 wpm. I could keep up with it because that is my line of work, just scanning words as fast as my eyes will go. I don't know if others go through this but my eyes can pick up words all over the place including restaurants, cleaners, newspapers, anywhere I go that are incorrectly spelled. I now seem to speed read everything.  Anyone else? ...

Red Eyes, Weight Loss - HyperthyroidismMar 06, 2016
I'm catching up on medical problems after being without insurance for years.  For the past year I have had weight loss, red eyes and a fine tremor at times.  TSH was normal but T3 & T4 were very high.  I'd been hypothyroid most of my life (35 years), now diagnosed with hyperthyroidism & Grave's disease.  Had thyroid uptake 24 hour scan.  The endocrinologist said that in 18 years of practice, the highest thyroid uptake he had seen was 60% in a patie ...

Im So TiredSep 18, 2012
Can anyone help me? I have hit a serious dead end. I feel unappreciated, unloved, unwanted, and every other "un" you can think of. I am tired of cooking dinner, doing the dishes, doing the laundry, cleaning the damn house, making sure every one has everything, and tired of working my sore fingers to the bone. I look out the window and feel as if the world is passing me by. People going places, smiling, laughing, having fun, and I want that. What happened? Where did my life go? Does anyon ...

So Tired.Dec 17, 2012
I'm late to the gun debate on the boards, because I needed time to calm down after Friday's tragedy.  I didn't want to come here all emotional and start swiping at people and coming up with totally unrealistic expectations of our country regarding gun control.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how completely saturated we are with guns. I grew up with guns, in a house practically stuffed to the brim with them. My family are paranoid "survivalists." &n ...

Am Tired Of Being Fat, Yes I Said It FatDec 11, 2014
I do not need any information about walking, exercising, know that but have some health issues that prevent a lot of that. Now let's get to the fat issue. I wish I could live off of water alone for about a month, that ought to about do it but I probably would have such a headache from lack of any solid food. I am also acknowleding the fact that a fast weight loss also means a possible fast gain back. I got all this but what I would like to know, does anyone have a really low caloric list ...

I am talking cardio for 45 minutes a day and some weight training too! My newly-toned shoulders sure do enhance my bulging middle, which actually used to indent kinda nicely, I think. I'm gonna be 50 soon. I know my hormones are in a mosh pit, but something's gotta give, right? So here's what's next.....tell me if any ...

Observations - Tired Of It AllMar 25, 2010
The hatred on this board toward anyone who is a conservative has been absolutely rampant and so unnecessary.  It has become so bad here, the only way to describe it is a disease.  People have become totally obsessed with hating conservatives.  There are accusations of violence, yet no proof.  No videos, no voice clips, not even an iphone video or picture…nothing.  All you have is someone telling you things were said and done by conservatives, yet nobody can collab ...

I'm So Tired Of The Tax Debate!May 14, 2010
Tax the rich more....tax the poor less, etc.  It is my opinion that if you tax the rich more, it won't help that much considering there are so many loopholes in the tax code that I'm sure the rich will find a way to get out of paying more taxes.  Why don't we just do a flat tax.  That will eliminate the loopholes.  Simple and easy...probably why they won't do it though.  They need something confusing so the crooks in the world can get out of paying ta ...

Tired Of Your RidiculeNov 08, 2012
"Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude, a constant force, performing a timeless function in the development of a free society, and corresponding to a deep and permanent requirement of human nature itself." As an individual who practices conservatism, I am thankful that I continue to live in a country that allows me to speak my words, that allows me to go to the school of my choice, that allows me and affords me the opportunity to make my own choices, that allows me the opportu ...

Do You Ever Have Days Where You Are So Tired You Feb 20, 2016
Get you out of bed?? I mean seriously, deep down severe fatigue?? I am having a day like that today.  I haven't felt like this in a long time.  It used to happen more frequently, a few times a year.  When my kids were younger I would lay in bed and think my kids would come home from school with me lying in bed and unable to get up.  But eventually I would be able to rouse from my fatigue and walk to the kitchen and get a cold beverage.  I think for me it is hormonal ...

Hair Dye What To Buy Tired Of ColorsilkDec 03, 2009
I have long hair that usually takes about 3 boxes of dye.  I usually only do it about 2-3 times a year and do the all over color each time because my color tends to fade.  I think hair dye might be one of those things that you get what you pay for.  I usually buy the Colorsilk ($2-$3 at Walmart) because it is cheaper and I am usually broke.  This year I think I will splurge a little and buy a more expensive brand.  In the past I have tried the Herbal ess. and Natrual Ins ...

You Know What I'm So Tired Of With This Election Year? Especially The DNC.Sep 05, 2012
It's like an echo. Every single person who speaks or gave a speech, and every government mayor, governor, government worker who speaks or gave a speech, are saying the exact same thing. Don't they have thoughts of their own? Can't they think for themselves? It certainly doesn't look that way. I'm surprised the women are being bamboozled so badly. It's shocking.  Oh, and I love the way Debbie Wasserman-Schultz got caught in another lie and then lied about it... ...

Prayer Request For Tired MTFeb 08, 2013
Hello, I am having some health issues with my gallbladder, or so it seems. I don't have health insurance as it is not offered through my job. I can't afford to have anything done. It's really depressing to know you work for everything you have and it can be taken away from high hospital bills. I am currently taking a medical coding class.

Extremely Tired All The Time Feb 03, 2014
I've always had an average amount of energy but lately I literally feel as if I am wading through water. I actually feel weighted down. I never used to be able to sleep anywhere but in bed, but I notice I have been nodding off in my chair even though I sleep well at night. I don't snore or have apnea. (It's been really cold here, and I find the nodding off occurs in my recliner when I have a blanket on me.)  My diet isn't that unhealthy, but it is pretty monotonous. I fi ...

Anyone Sick And Tired Of All The LiesMar 10, 2015
Boy, I would sure love some real truth for a change. I am sick and tired of these excuses and lies that the Democrats give for everything and am sick of Mr. O saying he didn't know till he heard it on the news or it's someone else's fault. That is like my ex-husband blaming me for his wife's children renigging on a loan and him going bankrupt and other things like this he always accused me of. Nothing to do with me at all or our son. Anyway, I am more than ready for a ...

I got so much talk back it was unreal from different places charge different, you have to know this and that and I said maybe I am not making myself clear and repeated, saying just ...
