Tired puffy eyes - building works?

My eyes felt really tired and puffy during the heatwave, were ok for a couple of days and have been the same since.

I've tried resting, but can't get to sleep, so don't think I'm tired. We were out this morning and within 15 mins of getting back, I feel the same - have even gone and checked our two CO2 monitors. It's not hayfever, as I'm allergic to tree pollen and flies, and this is different.

Just started to wonder if it's building works from next door. They've had an extension taken down, building put up at back and gone into roof with lots of cuttingplywood/planks. Been really bad this week, which coincides with a lot of dust coming from next door.

Could it be this, or is there anything else that anyone can think of?

If worried perhaps try an appointment with an optician. They can have a look and possibly advise something to bring some relief.
