Assuming you have spoken with your GP and Neuro (there are
neuro-ophthalmologists) and they see nothing wrong: your eyes feel dry; they
are not being washed with as many eye blinks as nonPWP eyes and they
probably hurt, too, feeling relieved by closing them. Artificial tears did
not help me, but ophthalmic ointments at bed time have helped.

Be careful rubbing under your eyes. Ideally washing under the eye is done
inside corner to outer corner to prevent infections, *But*, if you can do
this, it helps: use ONLY your ring finger to wash under the eyes going from
the outer corner to the inner corner to prevent stretching of the under eye
skin. Use the ring finger because you'll find it is your weakest, therefore,
gentlest finger and will not pull and stretch as much as another finger
will.

Do not try to cover the dark circles under eye because cover stick enhances
wrinkles.Use one of the
light-reflecting white eye creams. These seem to rub in, not leaving a white
circle around the eyes,  if done right. Apply it in a very light application
over the lower part of your eye lid, around the outside of the eye where
smile lines would be,  then under your eye (outside to inside using the ring
finger.) Apply make-up over if  you are going to put any on.
