My eyes feel heavy.
![My eyes feel heavy.]()
As people age, they often experience a feeling of heaviness or discomfort in their eyes rather than simply eye strain.
If you feel a heavy, dull sensation in your eyes, there's a possibility you have glaucoma. Glaucoma is not a rare disease, but it's often difficult to notice, making it the leading cause of blindness in Japan.
First, consult a specialist to correctly identify the cause of your eye discomfort.
