Why do I have "gluey" eyelids?

When I close my eyes for a while, it seems like I have applied glue to my eyes and I can hardly open them. I have to apply a warm washcloth to my eyes to open them. What is the problem and how can I treat this?

It may be caused by dry eye. The best way is to use the over-the-counter agents such as artificial tear replacement solutions to treat this problem. These tear replacement agents can be found in the drugstore.

You may get inflammation in your eyes and try to wash your eyes with saline water. It is better to see an doctor and get some prescripted eye drops.
