Way to prevent my eye being glued shut in the morning?!
Question: Way to prevent my eye being glued shut in the morning!?
I have a case of pink eye/conjunctivitis (I've been to the doctor, he gave me some eyedrops) but until it clears up I wake up in the mornings with my eye somewhat glued shut, and it's pretty painful/uncomfortable to get it open!. Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening the night before!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Since a sleep mask or the like would trap bacteria, which is Not a good thing, there's not much you can do in the way of protection!.
However, buy a bottle of 'unisol 4' saline solution (which is in the eye care section of many stores) or even just a container of 'refresh tears' eyedrops!. Leave it on your nightstand!. when you wake up, poke a little bit into the corners of your eyes, continuing to drop in more moisture until you can fully open them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

-You can lubricate your eye better at night before bed, by putting a warm wash cloth over it, using more eye drops, or putting a humidifer in your room (The moisture from the humidifier should keep your eye moist until morning!.)
-Make sure to keep your heat and air conditioning at a minimum because it causes your eye to dry up!.
-Cover your eyes better when you're sleeping!.

It may sound weird, but bathe your eyes in cold, black tea when you go to bed, and when you wake up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
