                    My eyes feel 'full', tired and strained.

                            Can you please tell me in 1 word or very short phrase what your dominant pain sensation is?

                            If you have multiple symptoms, try to articulate the pain sensation that seems to be the most debilitating, that most interferes with your usual activities.

                            Examples (but please add different ones if none of these fits you!)

                            burning
                            foreign body sensation

                              Sore, burning, tired, heavy = misery.

                              (Struggling to get my point across to doctors, I've resorted to some very graphic imagery - pain was like razor blade lacerations, tears like acid, someone using a running stitch with a big needle to make my eyes smaller.....
