Sore and Tired Eyes
After a long day at work, we are worn out, exhausted, tired as hell. This is also true for the eyes. The longer the day, the more tired the eyes - especially if they have been focused on a monitor for hours. However, it's not just screen workers who complain about tired eyes. Eyes start to burn and itch.
Symptoms
What To Expect
When tired, the body scales back many activities. The tear glands also produce less fluid. As a result, the protective tear film on the cornea becomes thinner and tears open. And as soon as the eyes are dry, they itch. But the eyes are also sometimes tired, strained and irritated when the rest of the body is wide awake. As a result of what ophthalmologists call gaze monotony. The concentrated forward gaze causes the eyelid blink frequency to drop and the eyes to dry out.
Made Worse By
If you notice that your eyes get tired and start to burn, you should definitely take a break. To save your eyes, it would be good not to sit in front of the TV, screen or smartphone for a few hours. In addition, sleep is recommended.
