getin freaked out

[paul28]

within the past couple days outta nowhere my eyes, have been dry, blurry, sore in the front of my eyes, and red. the only time i remember this feeling is wearing my contacts for a extended amount of time. but i havent worn them in years nor glasses.

i work infront of a computer, i have a feelling it is eye strain, but the redness and dryness really getting to me. i dont think i did anyhing to them, i smoke.

within these few days trying to focus reading causes slight headaches, to when standing up, i can get a lil disoriented with a little tunnel/blurry vision feeling on occasion, but i snap right outta of it if i close them, go outside etc. but my eyes still dry... even my eyelids seem a lil 'puffy' its kinda hard to explain.

if it doesnt clear up by this weekend, i going to doctor... i just freaked out looking online for answers.

just looking for what it might be

Glad it helped. Zaditor was among the top two best selling prescription allergy drops when the pharmaceutical company took it over the counter, they also cut the price by more than half.  The pharmaceutical companies in the US take entirely too much criticism and it's often lost on what great research they do and the free samples they give and the programs to provide drugs to the indigent.

Try over the counter artifical tears 4-6 times/day and over the counter Zaditor when they itch. Schedule an exam to see an ophthalmologist in the near future.
