Hi there. Im a 21 year old woman living in the US, and I've been dealing with a huge amount of pain over the course of a year.
My eyes have been burning and itchy for the past year, as well as it feels like something is in my left eye constantly.
I've seen 7 different doctors, consisting of 2 optometrists, 3 opthamoligists, a physician, and an allergist.
It was first diagnosed as Giant Papillary Conjuntitivis and Blephritis, followed by dry eye and now allergic conjunctivitis.
I've tried a multitude of medication, including Lotemax, Prednisone, Alrex, Bepreve, and Pataday. I just started treatment for allergy medication drops, but I'm worried there won't be an end to this pain. I've also adjusted to my environment to get rid of all potential allergens (i.e., bought a purifier, eyelid cleaners, artificial tears, dust-mite proof pillows, etc), but these things have little to no effect on my eyes.
If anyone who has had a similar experience or just has advice on the next step of this, i would very much appreciate it. It's very hard to go day-by-day with this constant eye pain.
