Why do my eyes feel heavy and burn?

Have you ever felt the immense weight of tiredness in your eyes? Does it feel like they’re burning with the fury of a thousand suns, even though you’ve had a full 8 hours of sleep? Fear not, my fellow humans. This is a common problem that plagues many people around the world. In this article, we’ll be shedding some light on what could be causing your eyes to feel heavy and burn (pun intended).

You Can’t Handle Your Smoke

Are you constantly smoking up in hopes of spiritual enlightenment or just trying to blow off steam after work? Well (surprise surprise), there’s a reason why your eyes are feeling heavy and burnt like toast left on for too long. Marijuana smoke can cause dryness and irritation in the eyes by reducing tear production towards your cornea (the clear part at front-side of eye where contact lenses sit upon) resulting in chronic symptoms.

So next time when someone complains about their red-strained eyeballs after hitting spliff.. Just whisper… ‘Naw man! That’s tears from all that hot-Boxing!’

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome may sound like something out of The Walking Dead, but it’s actually quite common amongst us living folks who stare at screens all day long. When we immerse ourselves into digital devices such as phones or computers; less blinking (also known as reduced blink rate) results overall drier ocular surface which means our  “Natural Tears” start evaporating more quickly leaving our poor blink-rate-deprived-oceanic-spheres high-and-dry (#PunIntended).

Don’t worry though,’m also battling against excessive screen time (Talking about myself here) I know easier said than done – unless if you have discovered exceptional superhuman powers. or else… a quick reflexive, tearful-blinking eye exercise every 20 minutes could help to reduce its unpleasant aftermath.

Environmental Factors

Living in a polluted city with secondhand smoke constantly invading your personal space? Get used to burning eyes! Allergies and irritants such as dust particles, pollen grains or chemicals at work can also be causing the heavy feeling within your ocular muscles.

Imagine that Your EYES are soldiers struggling fighting against an unseen enemy of Irritants while you watch them doing their best-just like our skin/immune system fights external factors protecting us from harm (Sending them positive vibes). Not only we should take care of our physical systems but also show empathy toward it (Psst… Stop hugging devices for no reason plus increase hydration – helps with moisturizing internal body).

Contact Lenses

Oh yeah, remember those things you stick into your eyes so you don’t have to wear those nerdy glasses? That’s right; they’re called contact lenses (#DontDoThatToMe). Some people experience heaviness and burning sensations in their eyes after wearing contacts for extended periods of time.

As much as sticking little “trapped” disks within the eyeballs sounds tempting – ultimately it inhibits oxygen dissipation around cornea due blockage . So next time when ya buddy urges y’all about prioritising convenience over deprecating health, just know- sometimes Nerdy Glasses are not the enemy here!

Sinus Infection

When sinus-cavities that lie behind nose get infected resulting in nasal congestion blockage which increasing pressure thus affecting venous drainage contributing towards pooling blood around periorbital area leading eventually to puffy swollen looking baggy tired sagging under-eye syndrome occurring (#crazyHairEmoji).

If this is indeed what’s bothering ya {Ahh-Sinus} then antibiotics maybe the solution given by medical experts near you.

Eyestrain

We’ve all heard of the term “avoiding digital eyestrain” But how exactly can one avoid it? Being mindful of your own use and ensuring you’re using devices with adequate lighting may help to prevent complaints from ocular area muscles regarding strain.

So ya might be thinking, What is Digital Eyebreaks?. Breaking up your screen time into periods where you take breaks specifically designated for letting go of digital stimulation in exchange for a healthier outlook on life (#Yay). Just make sure not to let that momentary escape  be filled with ‘Oh just one more episode’

In conclusion, dry eyes resulting from decreased blinking rate, environmental factors polluting air leading towards irritant eyes syndrome, sinus infections creating blockages leading toward heavy puffy bedding-afflicted-bags on lower rims and emotional stress (yeah did we not talk about other impacts?) could all potentially be contributing factors behind heaviness after long screen times!. Be cautious and don’t hesitate to consult medical experts if conditions persist following our suggestions (No Pressure Man)!

Here’s a final thought before I say adios; taking care of those oceanic spheres is essential as they always provide noteworthy experiences in this beautiful world so show them some love!
