I have suffered for years from irritated eyes. The eyes feel inflamed especially towards the evening. The eyelids get heavy, my eyes are tired. Sometimes they feel gritty, usually they feel strained. I keep blinking and I have developed a twitch at the mouth. Cold and dark seems to bring relief. I have been diagnosed with Blepharitis. I wash my eyes with mild baby shampoo, use warm compress and take antibiotics daily. Tried restesis, but to no affect. This has impacted my quality of life greatly.
