Hi,
I have dry eyes, blepharitis (under control) & evaporative.
When I sit at home at the computer my right eye gets sore, usually after 5 minutes or so.......and I don't mean stinging sore, I mean like a dull toothache type soreness. If I let it go, the whole side of my face seems to get sore....quite bad actually.
If I look away the soreness begins to subside after a few minutes, or indeed if I cover my eye but continue to look at the computer the soreness will die away. My left eye never ever gets sore like this.
From the moment I awake in the morning till I go to bed at night my right eye is in a constant state of soreness.....at it's best it's very hardly noticeable but it is there.
At work I use a computer (almost all day) but it never gets as sore as it does at home.
I've tried putting drops in immediately before using the PC but it doesn't seem to help.
If I sit in front of the Tv (15ft away) my eye doesn't get sore. It seems to be when I'm close to my lcd monitor.
I wear glasses (short sighted), and with my glasses on I can read at about 8" closest.
I have a retinal vein occlusion in my right eye.....very very close to my centre of vision. It's a blurred patch in my vision. I have another in my left eye, much smaller but off to the side by quite a bit.
I can't help but think the soreness is not dry eyes but something else?
I've been to the eye clinic and have mentioned it....but after sitting for soooo long in the queue my eyes get quite rested and it's never really sore by the time I get seen. I sometimes wish I could strain my right eye to the point of soreness before I go in.....but don't know how to go about that.
Outside in bright dayligh my eye doesn't get sore, it's only at my home PC.
NB. I have the brightness turned quite far down.
PS. I should have said, the soreness only ever started when I first started getting dry eyes....about 18 months ago. I also got new glasses a couple of montsh before that.
Any ideas?
