Sore eyes and difficulty focusing. Symptoms • Poor night vision • Difficulty in focusing after concentrating on an object • Headaches • Sore, red, inflamed and weeping eyes

Dry eye is a term used when the eye feels dry, gritty and sore, but not painful. Dry eye symptoms should be treated because if the eye is not properly lubricated, foreign material not washed away from the eye may lead to eye damage, infection and ulceration.

Almost anything you might want to do will not affect your glaucoma adversely. Using your eyes is not harmful. They do not need to be "rested".
