What To Do If Having Sleep Problems, Pain And Stiffness Behind Eyes After Being In Dry Air?
I have noticed when I have been in dry air for many days/weeks in a row or playing computer games for too many hours I begin to have sleep problems. What I notice the most are my eyes. They will start feeling a little achy and stiff and tight behind my eyes. They feel very dry. It affects my sleep because my eyes feel wide awake and not relaxed and the more I go without good sleep, the worse the problem gets. I know dry air is a big part of it and when I use a humidifier in the winter the problem occurs much less often. Is there anything I can do to help the situation?
Thank You.
Thank You.

Hello
I reviewed your history.
The symptoms indicate dry eyes and the condition appears to be severe as it is affecting your sleep also.
The treatment is by use of artificial tears and the precautions to be taken is to avoid continuous use of computers for long time without break and by avoiding exposure to dry air and dry environment.
Thank you
