Dr. Sandra Lora Cremers answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Tired, sore eyes: Dry eye is a common cause of sore eyes. Trick is to rejuvenate tear film (has 3parts) apply heat to eyelids without burning your skin (hot towel in hot water; avoid pushing on eye); re-heating when towel gets cold (like hot towel push ups), it will open the meibomian gland and use artificial tears 4x/day. See eyemd otherwise. Good luck; see eyedoc2020.Blogspot.Com.
