It is suggested by the Health Information Forum that sleep is a natural periodic delay of the state of awareness of your body powers. It is during this time when the various body powers are restored. The closed eyes are in a state of relaxation which needs about 7-8 hours of closed-eye rest. During this period the body makes an effort to repair the damages which were incurred in the state of awareness during the day time.

Incomplete Blinking or Closure of the Eyes- Many people knowingly or unknowingly do not completely close their eyes while sleeping or do not completely blink. This may be a natural process but more commonly found among those who have had a surgery on “droopy eyelids”. People with incomplete blinking or partial closure of the eyelids face dry eye problems after the LASIK eye surgery.

Method to get long-lasting relief from dry eyes

If you suffer from Sjogren’s disease, then it is advised to use tranquileyes regularly. Wearing them at night while sleeping is very helpful. It helps to preserve the tears at night and you wake up with moist, refreshing eyes in the morning. To calm your dry eyes, clean the eye area with soap and warm water. Soak the tranquileyes pads in distilled water. Apply a moist cloth on your face and eyes for about 5 minutes by the time the pads are soaking are water. Now remove the moist cloth gently and place the tranquileyes for about 30 minutes or longer. Now you can sleep into your bed and enjoy the feeling of having warm, moist eyes. Tranquileyes can be worn throughout the night if you have severe dry eyes; otherwise wearing them for 30-40 minutes is enough to get the results.

Exposure Keratitis is a disorder which is a caused due to incomplete closure of eyelids while you are sleeping. If this is not treated at the proper time, it can result in to a condition called Recurrent Corneal Erosion (RCE). This is very painful due to severe dry eyes when you wake up in the morning.

Treatment available for incomplete lid closure at night is using ointments while sleeping at night or your eyelids can be taped closed. You can also use “Refresh Liquigel” eye drops before going to sleep at night. And when you wake up, do not directly open your eyes straight away. You can have a kind of look around yourself with your closed eyes. Also “Systane” eye drops are available which can be used during the day time.
