Greetings all
I'm 26 and from the UK.
I've always used computers during my studies and also playing games at home and partly because of this I am very short sighted, I also work in kitchens which may be a part of the problem as they can be very dry. In about 2000 I started wearing contacts, which was ok at first at work, but as the months went on my eyes rejected them somewhat, I started to notice red lines in my eyes but ignored it.
After 2 years I gave up on them and went back to wearing glasses, my eyes were ok, sometimes if I used the computer too much my eyes would become very red and sore, but it would clear up quick.
Last may I decided to decorate my bedroom, and I'm sure it was just around that time I noticed that my eyes really became irritated at any real time on the computer or playing consoles. Since then it's just become worse and worse.
My eyes are always sore now, they are marked badly with red lines, its a nightmare, I'm always thinking how my eyes appear to other people. Even now, with just a few minutes on the computer I bet they're really red....
I'm only young and it's getting me depressed, I feel like there's no-one else on the planet who has it as bad as me... I saw my optician last year (since then they have got worse) and he just told me I have dry eyes and if I want I could try using some cream at night that keeps them moist...
I don't know what to do... any advice... ?
