tired eyes

I have very stary ,tired eyes. They seem to want to close all the time. When I talk to people I feel like I am staring because they don't want to blink. The muscles in my eyes also give me discomfort Any ideas? This has been an ongoing problem for the last 15 years

Hi, jo.

The most serious of the causes of this experience is Myasthenia Gravis. Look it up. Since this has been going on for so long, this is even more unlikely.

However, If it were me, I would be getting it checked out by an ophthalmologist. Be sure to actually say the words "myasthenia gravis" to him.

Let us know what you learn.
