Teresa's eye is a subjective complaint without objective correlation. Some people get some relief from cold compresses or artificial tears.
Take breaks from your screens. Between TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones, screen exposure is at an all-time high and that takes a toll on your eyes. To avoid tired eyes, take both mini and longer breaks from your computers and digital devices to allow your eyes to rest.
Apply warm and cool compresses. Tired eyes often can be relieved with warm and cool compresses placed on your eyes. This remedy will not only improve the appearance of your eyes, but it feels great and gives you a chance to pamper yourself.
Address Allergies. If allergies are the cause of your tired eyes, take a topical antihistamine, which reduces redness, swelling and itchy feeling. Avoid other allergy triggers, like driving with your windows down or spending time outdoors during allergy season, to keep your eyes from looking and feeling tired.
Address dry eye syndrome. Your tired eyes may just be dry, and there are some easy things you can do to keep your eyes hydrated. Dry Eyes can be caused by several factors, including age, certain medications and too much screen time, all of which can make it difficult for your eyes to stay moist.
Make sure your prescription is updated. Your tired eyes may be the result of an outdated vision prescription. If it’s been a while since you had your eyes checked, find an eye doctor near you and book an appointment.
Outside of the last cause, the other causes of tires eyes are the result of dry eyes most often caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. The Meibomian glands are what produce the lipids necessary for maintaining a proper amount of lubrication for your eyes. If these glands are malfunctioning, blocked, or just dying off, a severe case of dry eyes can set in. A treatment called LipiFlow is effective, and it can treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction with immediate results. Dr. Schottenstein will often recommend LipiFlow treatment, especially if a patient has tried other dry tired eye treatments with little to no success—as he has seen great results from using LipiFlow treatment. An individual treatment session with LipiFlow usually takes 10-15 minutes, and depending on your situation, a single LipiFlow treatment can remain effective for up to two years.
