My eyes get sore and bloodshot when watching tv or playing on the xbox or looking near a bright light. what's going on?

Probably dry eyes: While focusing on something like playing video games, using the computer or reading, people tend to blink less often. This predisposes to dry and irritated eyes. Try artificial tears during these activities to help your eyes stay lubricated. Take frequent breaks. Good luck.
