How Can I Relieve The Tiredness In My Eyes?

Posted on Thu, 23 Jul 2015

Question: hello
I have a question about my eyes; I am not afraid of anything, but I wanna be sure of something.

I know it's dangerous to drive when you're tired and when it's hard to keep focusing and keep your eyes open.

But sometimes I do, after long working days.

when you work hard on keeping your eyes open and try to focus, your eyes become very tired and you strain your muscles around the eyes; and after a long drive you feel even more tired.

I just wanna know; if this is dangerous to your eyes in anyway; and if you can damage your eyes and focus.
or this is eye tiredness or fatigue are just temporary and will be fixed after sleep ?
