Can someone advice me on a strange sense of needing to wash eyes ie from sleep, but they are perfectly clean.?

Very difficult to explain!

For the last two weeks, come the afternoon and my eyes feel as if I have only just got up and not had a wash yet.

I can find nothing when searching and only will go to dr if it is necessary or I cannot find a solution.

    It sounds like you have dry eyes, a very common condition which can make your eyes feel gritty or itchy. The cause can be a reaction to drugs, such as antihistamines, or an underlying medical condition. The simple solution is to use eye drops which help restore the natural moisture of your eyes.

    Could be two things:

    1. Allergies can cause that feeling. Especially once spring starts.

    2. Dry Eye Syndrome. Your eyes can even water a lot and be considered "dry". It can give the feeling of grains of sand in your eyes.

    Eye drops from a Pharmacy. You might have a slight allergy.
