Eye pain?

Do you get eye strain, or pain around your eyes when you’re having a headache attack?  There can be many causes of eye pain, but if it’s related to your headache or simple eye sensitivity and not another health issue, there are more and more options to minimize the irritation.

One thing that I’ve found to be very helpful are eye pillows.  Recently I was in the market for a new one, so I checked out the options.  I wrote a new article about my findings, which you can read here.

New options are becoming available when it comes to contact lenses.  Many people (including me) are trying the new Acuvue contact lenses, which are designed to be easier on your eyes.  They’re now available in toric, bifocal, astigmatism, and so on, so you’ve got lots of options.  Retail they’re more expensive, but if you live in the USA there are some fantastic rebates and sales on at Vision Direct.  (If you live in Europe including the UK or Canada, there are also some great discounts on other contact brands, even without the rebates.)

See your optometrist to rule out certain diseases if your eyes are sore for no known reason.  Make sure you take care of them – you’ve only got two!
