Hi,
I posted here because I have blepharitis and had serious dry eye issues over the winter. Just in the past few days things have changed. I had to go on a trip and in doing so I now have issues with my eyes being a bit pink, itchy and now watery. It did rain today but now has turned to snow. Humidity in the house is the usual level.
Watery would be fine but the itching is driving me mad, and I'm worried this is another infection.
I have a bit of "bubbling" along the top of one eyelash line, has happened before, the swelling did go away last time though I don't recall if that was on its own or because of antibiotics.
I also had a prominent stye but it's clearing up.
The watery feeling also comes with a mild "toxic eye" feeling. When my eyes are dry I can get serious "toxic eye" feelings, like someone poured vinegar in my eye, and have to put a cloth on when that happens.
I just don't understand what's going on here. So far today, no build up of white toothpaste oil in corners of the eyes. Which is another mystery..how could I get the white thick oil some days, and then other days nothing, but a watery feeling with itching??
I realize itchy watery eyes can be a sign of allergies...but I'm wondering if this itching could be a sign of infection. Crusting today is not that bad. The last optometrist I saw said to call for antibiotics if I had a lot of crusting.
I have rosacea too, since that's relevant.
