Dry eyes suck. Way too much!

Have you ever had that feeling where you think you have sand in your eyes and at other times your eyes water uncontrollably. I have had this for quite a while and have tried most of the eye drops and sprays on the market. They work for an hour at most and then I’m back to the old tedium. Some days are good and others not so.

Now three months down the track and working on the computer for much longer periods than I did before WA came along, I was noticing that the rocks were getting much worse.

I figured that it had something to do with the computer so on a bad day I went into the Optometrist’s and asked for an appointment as soon as possible. I got one 3 days later and it was literally an Eye Opener! (pardon the pun.)

Of course he would examine my eyes and fit me up with a new set of lenses (otherwise he doesn't get any income) and then he said…”When it gets bad, all you have to do is get a largish face flannel, about 12” square (30cms) and roll it up into a sausage shape, corner to corner.

A BEAUT REMEDY - NO DRUGS

Half fill your handbasin with hot water, as hot as you can bear with your hands and put the flannel in and soak it for roughly half a minute until fully soaked.

When you can bear to pick it up, gently squeeze about half of the excess water from the flannel and put the heated flannel across the bridge of your nose and hold it against your eyelids for about a minute. Repeat once more making sure the water is still very hot.

The result is really amazing and when I go back to the computer my eyes feel so fresh and my vision is so clear. He explained that when we stare at a computer we forget to blink our eyes sufficiently and we don’t get the natural secretions from the Melbomian Glands which adds a fine coating to the eyeballs thus removing the Sand ! Repeat & Rinse whenever the Sandman comes back again.
