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.

For how long exactly you have been having
this eye problem?
Are they red and watery?
You were checked by ophthalmologist, so,
if it was an allergy she or he would know,
because when that is the case specific
small growths are formed beneath eye lids
that are recognized by doctor.
Have you been checked for eye pressure?
Are you taking some medications for other
medical issues?

As stated, I have had this problem for
three months. My eyes are not watery,
actually they seem dry, iand this causes
my lid to feel the vein more everytime I
blink, they are also itchy.
Yes, I have seen two eye doctors
(surgeons), none of them mentioned
allergies, as mentioned they seemed to
have not heard my comments about the vein
and tightness in my eyes.
My eye pressure was checked, and it was
normal.
The only medication I take is for Migraine
headaches and that is only two days a
month.
