Usually: Sore eyes usually is also associated with tired eyes that feel better with blinking or closing the eyes. This usually suggests a problem with dryness or irritation on the ocular surface of the eye. The most common diagnose is dry eye syndrome. Eye fatigue is seen in the setting of increased reading, studying, prolonged driving and computer usage. All of these activities contribute to dryness.
