Tired eyes

Dear all,

I was doing quite well for the past 7-8 months, and decided to be away from this forum. I was living a normal, healthy life.

Last week I developed this symptom of tired eyes and headaches. I went to the optician who told me that my eyes are not producing enough tears. He gave me something to warm and place on my eyes, saying this should get the glands that produce the tears back in action. The thing is, all of this looks too familiar, too TMSy.

I have been stressed at work lately, so it might be coming from there. Has anyone else experienced this?
