A member asked:

Eyes are constantly dry but sticky and after a while of being awake they burn and i have to blink excessively. it likes to stay closed, blurred vision?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry eyes: You probably have dry eyes and possibly a co-existing allergy given the "sticky" eyes. Start by using artificial tears at least 4 times a day. If they are still "sticky" try an over the counter antihistamine eye drop. If still no resolution see your ophthalmologist.
