Experiencing dry, sticky eyes in the morning is often caused by dry eyes or eyelid inflammation (blepharitis). You can try using preservative-free artificial tears before bed and upon waking, gently clean your eyelids, and consult an eye doctor for evaluation and possible treatments such as medicated ointments or punctal plugs.

Dry, sticky eyes in the morning causing blurred vision often result from insufficient tear production or poor tear quality overnight. Using an ophthalmic lubricant gel like Optimoist 0.3% Ophthalmic Gel can help by moisturizing your eyes and relieving discomfort.

  • Apply the gel as directed, usually once at bedtime, to keep your eyes moist overnight.
  • Avoid touching the tip of the gel tube to your eye to prevent contamination.
  • If you experience persistent irritation, redness, or worsening vision, consult an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) promptly.
  • Ensure good eyelid hygiene and consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to reduce dryness.
  • Avoid rubbing your eyes, which can worsen symptoms.

If you want, I can explain how to use the gel properly or suggest additional lifestyle tips to manage dry eyes. Please see an ophthalmologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
