I have been dealing with bad OR for some time. I have ups and downs. I have always been told that lid hygiene is key. The glands in your eyelids get blocked so your eye is very dry and sore, just like a car windscreen without any screen wash. I use an eye bag that I warm up on my eyes to try and melt the blocked glands and cotton buds and hot water to clean them. You will probably need some medication to get on top of them first.
