I'm now finding that when I'm tired I can't see well at all, it all gets very blurry.  That limits what I can do very much.  Thank heaven that I can knit okay, especially if it's all knit or an easy repeat that I don't need to read clearly to keep up with (like 8 lines of pattern).   

Further, it is painful to be in the car at night without my sunglasses.  The headlights from the oncoming cars hurts a lot.  Didn't know your eyes can hurt.......they can.  Wearing shades helps a great deal.  And I'd have been better off if I'd worn them in a brightly lit restaurant where the light was painful.  It just seemed rude to leave them on, though the people I was with would not have objected (too much anyway).

The over the counter eye-drops are magic. 



 
that the artificial  tears drops really do soothe my eyes and help.  The are hypromellose0.3% for dry eyes.  The optician said last summer that I had dry eyes.  The doctor prescribed some eyedrops that are more for hay fever symptoms, but you can use both kinds along side each other, the prescription ones in the morning and evening and the others the rest of the time.

Just thought this might help someone else.
