Me: Ugh my eyes are so runny and burning uuugh.
Classmate: Have you considered they might be dry?
Me: ...........................

So now I have eye drops.

Let's see what that does.

I really hope it helps bc if I could have any relief for when it's like this I'll take it.

Update: Tried some eye drops. Eyes are still running but not stinging quite as much.

If at all??

SO THAT'S NICE

I think it's so weird that dry eyes run a lot. Like. If you got enough water to do that shit, why are you dry, eyes???

but I am glad they did help!

idk when they run that much it all seems to just overflow and not actually stay in the eyes.

Oh! I know this one

Do tell

you can basically be dealing with one of three things when you have dry eyes.
- you are not producing enough tears
- You are producing enough tears but they are 'low-quality'
- You are producing enough tears but they are evaporating too quick

Like, tears are actually a mixture of water and oils and stuff. And if that balance is upset, you still can get dry eyes even though you feel like you are producing plenty

I had some issues with it before. for me, using a humidifier in my room helped

(though I didn't just have dry eyes, I also had dry sinuses and stuff, so if you don't have any issues with that, the eyedrops alone might be enough)

I don't know. I mostly get it when I'm sick(ish).
