Eye Pain, Tiredness, Eyeballs Red, Headaches. Cure For Symptoms?
Im 16. Over the past two weeks my eyes have been hurting really bad. They feel tired all the time even though they're not. It feels like they're strained and swollen even though they don't appear to be swollen. Some people say my eyeballs look red. They also have been causing headaches due to this lately. When I apply heat to them it feels better.

Hi, it appears that you have refractory error, of the eyes, causing the head ache and red eyes.
I advise you to consult an ophthalmic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have glasses for refractive error, Besides medicines. Thank you.

Hello,
All the symptoms which you have quoted inidicate non specific redness, headache and eye pain may be because of uncorrected refractive error. Please do check about the vision status in each eye separately after closing one eye.
If the vision is reduced than you require refraction and correction by optometrist or ophthalmologist and correction of the refractive error.
If the vision is normal than you need to rule out other causes like chronic conjunctivitis, chronic sinusitis...
Please do consult your ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Thank you
