Anyone else got sore eyes?!

For the last few days I've had really itchy eyes - in the inner corners and also the skin just underneath and they've become really sore and watery (but no sign of infection etc). Apparently that's probably because they're dry. Another consequence of those fabulous pregnancy hormones so I've read! It's so tedious. Anyway else got this and found anything that helps? Have got some eye drops but however dry my eyes might be sticking drops in them when they are watering so much doesn't seem helpful!

My eyes have been dry at times. I understand that its due to hormones.

Good to know I'm not alone. No miracle cures then?!

Hormones unfortunately. I wear contacts and this is the first time I have been able to wear them so long because I have the soft ones. But they have had the prescription changed as your eye sight can also get worse during pregnancy.

It might not be because they are dry, it could be because your tears are too watery as silly as that sounds. So they don't stay sticking and watering your eyes but run down your face instead. Mine are like it all the time, as far as I know there isn't anything you can do.

Might be worth, if you have had them checked and its defo not infection, nipping along and having a word with the optician?
