Eye problem is driving me mad!

[Robshealth96]

For the past several days I've had a tightness in my eyes, I can see fine and it doekt hurt but it's uncomfortable at times and I'm so worried

Hello Rob,

I'm really sorry to hear about this and imagine it must be cause of concern. Have you visited your GP or Opthamologist? Under the circumstances, they might be your best point of call.

Equally, tomorrow evening the Men's Health Forum runs their Man MOT chat session between 7pm and 10pm. You can find more information here menshealthforum.org.uk/manmot. You can also send the GPs an email at any time and they will respond within 72 hours.

I hope that helps. It would be good if you could share your experience of service support for others to learn from.

Eyes can get stressed from a number of reasons throughout the day due to -

fixation on a computer

lack of exercising the eye muscles

fluorescent lights

deficiencies of the color spectrum

watching too much TV

lack of a sufficient amount of sunlight

degeneration

aging

nutritional deficiencies

lack of circulation

environmental pollutants, etc...

You can make eye drops with 1% himalayan salt (84 minerals) and distilled water.

Hydrotherapy for eyes -alternating cold and warm water

Use a bowl of ice water and a bowl of warm water and 2 towels

Put a towel in the warm water, wring it out and place over eyes for 3 minutes

then immediately put the other towel in the cold water, wring it out and place over eyes for 1 minute. You can repeat this 3 times
