   sure....cheap n easy... make a pot of tea, cool 2 tea bags, squeeze them a bit so they don't drip, lie back and put them on your eyes.
   
   The tannic acid in the tea refreshes nicely; takes about an hour. Works really well for swelling.
   
   Enjoy!

   The teabag idea could also save you the money you now spend on eye shadow by staining your eyelids a most attractive brown hue.
   
   I always carry a small plastic bottle of Visine or Murine eye drops (don't know if they have these in the UK, being a 3rd world country) with anti-redness and moisturizers in it, and use it whenever my eyes burn (like right now from using this computer BB for too long at a time).

   Are you sure it's not from crying after the Celtic result, Graeme?
   Teabags are cheap and plentiful, good advice there!

   I find the air at work to be hell on my eyes. Because the only thing that has helped me is cromylyn eye gtts, I think it's more of an allergy than plain old dry eyes (although they are dry as well). I only really need the gtts if I am working long stretches.
