How many years of staring at screens did it take, if you don't mind me asking ?

    It must be a personal issue because I have been a screen starer for 35-40 years and don't have this issue. One of my kids got itz and the remedy was morning and night eye washing.

    I've been using computers heavily for over 2 decades

    My eye doctors have impressed on me the importance of eye lid health and hot eye compresses. They say everyone should do it twice a day

    I'm not sure if I'd go as far as to reccomend that (plenty of people do fine without it) but my eyes get gunky FAST if I skip hot eye compresses

    So like do you wet a washcloth with hot water and drape it on or is there a different way?

    I have an electric hot eye compress

    It's over priced for what it is but it's the ones my doctor recommended and I haven't found a better one. I often will put a damp paper towel on it for moistness

    The doctors office itself uses a microwaveable version. The important thing is to use it for at least 7 minutes
