Hi all,
I was just wondering... has anyone else noticed heating affecting their eyes?
After I switched off the central heating from the winter, my eyes have gradually healed, to the extent that over the last few months my eyes have been the best they have been in years i.e.
- sporadic and minor pain
- rare and minor erosions
- less light sensitivity
- stabilised vision
On the downside I still can only sleep for abut 3 hours before waking from eyes sticking and the minor discomfort requiring me to administer drops carefully to open the eyes to prevent erosions.
But then last night I visited a newborn baby in a hospital where the heating was on. I lubricated (Hylo-Forte) immediately before and after.
I didnt notice any discomfort at the time. But a few hours later the pain began.
A day later and my right eye feels like it has a rough grating patch on it, I'm sensitive to light, have difficulty keeping the eye open, and am in minor pain.
All that from just 45 minutes in a warm room!
So, has anyone else noticed central heating affecting their eyes?
How do you manage?
