I have been having eye problems that have gotten worse in the last three months.
The symtoms are itching, dry eyes, vein in the corner of my eyes seemed to be swollen, sometimes a burst blood vessel in that same spot, a tightness felt in that corner vein when I move my eye to the right, slight buffiness in eye lids in the mornings.
These things happen at no particular time of day, the tightness in the vein and the need to rub my eyes is there all day long, I find my self blinking alot.
I have gone to two eye doctors, both told me nothing is wrong with my eyes and to try clear drops for the itchiness and dryness. They seem to have ignored the comments about the vein and tightness in that area as well as the blood vessel bursting.
I even thought is this a blood pressure issue, where my vein gets swollen due to pressure , but I have do not have a problem with high blood pressure.
Because this bothers me everyday and is not going away, it seems to be getting worse, and my lid seems to rub on that vein and may cause the the bursting along with the dry environment in the eye.
I thought today, could this be a allergy problem, could I be allergic to something that is causing this. I have never had allergies so I don't know. Any ideas in this area would be helpful.
I am thinking of trying Claridin or some over the counter product, any suggestions. I really feel that my eyes need some help, or in the long run something is going to happen. My body doesn't seem to want to ignore this problem.
Sorry for the length of this post, but I am asking for some help.
