You did not mention any related desise. but I have the same type of problem and my answer from Mayo was that I was slowly losing my ability to close my eye lids and light was coming in . As this progressed things got scarier -I could not get restful sleep. Finially,I learned from my ophtomoligist that the nerves of my lids were dying and could not close at all and the gap was getting larger. This can feel very frightening. When I went to the dentist ,I thought I had it under control. Towels over my eyes. But, I burned my right optic nerve and had one soccut ulcer as well as an ulcer on the ball . Hurt!!!! Really I want to encourage you to measure the time day and night you use you eyes.watch incoming light time tv and computer use and hat and shades outdoors. Finially use oily wash on your eyes a lot! Now Tempra Pedic bought the design for an eye mask from NASA it covers all openings comfortably .try it for undisturbed rest. I am facing surgery now if anyone had just given me some simple ideas----but I have spinal cerebellur ataxia atrophy reading writing tv light computer outdoorsand activity are now careful watched behaviours if I want some life. Good luck. KLynn
