how do i stop my eyes feeling dry when i wake up?!


Question: How do i stop my eyes feeling dry when i wake up?
I think my eyes can't be closed properly when I sleep at night as when I awake they feel dry and uncomfortable. How do I prevent this?

Answers:

You can use some gels that you use before you sleep and apply them in order to wake up without severe dry eyes. Also, use some artificial tears to soften the pain and the discomfort.



If you sleep with a ceiling fan on, that can dry your eyes also. Try using over the counter eye drops for dry eyes in the morning and evening. The new gels for dry eye seem to work better for me and are easier to use.



You do not give your age, but tear production reduces as we get older. You could try one of the eye lubricants, an ointment or gel used at night might help. Try Lacrilube, it is quite harmless.
