itchy eyes

For a few months now I have had very itchy eyes. If I rubbed them, the next morning they would be quite swollen but used to calm down as the day went on, so I used to try not to rub them at all.I had been getting stye in both eyes which I had probably transferred from 1 eye to the other. So these styes kept popping up and my eyes were itchy mainly my eyelids, I know I should have got some sort of drops for them but when I went to the doctor she said it was eczema and told me to stop wearing makeup. Previous to this I had already changed all brands of my makeup but no difference. I just cant live without eye makeup. Ive never been out without it before until now. I’m the most unconfident person ever and this has just made it worse. I cant hide under my makeup now.
Then last Friday I woke up with the puffiest eyes ever without having scratched them. Theyve been really bad all weekend and obviously I havent been using eye makeup since Friday. I went to the doctor and he said it was eczema and gave me some drops for the styes. Theyre still not back to normal and I ve got swelling under my eyes now nearer the cheek area.

If any one knows any desi totkay to get rid of the swelling I would appreciate it.

Re: itchy eyes

there are lots of things like washing with a mixture made from a pint of tepid water with a a level teaspoon of salt added. (advice from an opthalmic optician)

However I would be VERY careful about what I used to put in my eye.

Re: itchy eyes

Did the itching just start recently or have you had it for quite some time?
Are you allergic to anything that you know of..animal fur, mites, pollen, trees...?

If you have eczema and eyes are getting swollen then you should avoid eye makeup. Chemicals can trigger allergens which leads to more itching. Use non drowsy anti-histamines and avoid things that trigger itching. You can try homeopathic medicine too. It is harmless but doesn't promise anyting either.

QUIZ ! ANYONE?
