Red, Itchy Eyes With Heavy Lids

heavy lids in the evening, followed by crusty lids in the morning Several months ago, I experienced red, itchy eyes with heavy lids in the evening, followed by crusty lids in the morning for 2 or 3 weeks, then it stopped, then returned 2 weeks later for a week and stopped again. Then only heavy lids in the evening, followed by crusty lids in the morning with no redness or itchy for like 3 months straight now. Hard to keep eyes open when heavy, makes me feel like I should just go to bed early. What gives?
