Sore Eye When Consuming Alcohol Posted: 03-28-06 03:11am
I have had a symptom over the past 6mths
or so, where my right upper eyelid will
become very irritated when consuming
alcohol.
At first I thought I had a stye, but they
normally go within 1week or so but it has
persisited.
The upper eyelid becomes inflamed and it
feels as though there is something in my
eye (very sharp prodding feeling)
this feeling tends to go within about 1hr
or so....But it stumps me on what is
causing the issue, and why it is only
alchol which appears to irritate 'it'
i will be visiting my gp tomorrow, but im
sure it will not get diagnosed correctly
due to the intermittent nature of the
condition.
Any ideas ?

I visited my gp the day after posting
this, and she was a little miffed with the
issue as well. She prescribed me patanol
eye drops to be used twice per day for 2
weeks.
So far it has worked a treat and I can now
*finally* have a drink without the dreaded
side effects. Whether or not it is
permanently cured only time will
tell....But so far things are looking
better :)
my only assumption to make from all this,
is there must have been some infection in
my eye which was aggravated by the alcohol
(dehydration maybe?)
so hopefully the infection will get killed
off for good...

....Sinner. You should stop drinking, the
bible says so.
Just kidding. Sounds to me like your
theory is probably right--but the eye is
one of the most complicated and amazing
pieces of our body. I would do my best
not to irritiate it...Unless you don't
like seeing...

Sore Eyes From Alcohol Posted: 08-19-06 10:41am
You must have an excess of yeast or other
fungus in your system due to faulty diet
or food intolerance. Fermented
food/drinks and some types of fruit will
make the problem worse. Try :
1. Killing the eye fungus with castor
oil - search for blepharitis + "castor
oil"
2. Intestinal fungus (esp yeast) with
biolive yoghurt. If you get a good
brand, it is delicious with fruit. See
other posts.
3. Watch your diet.
Maybe you can then still enjoy a bit of
alcohol without having to pay penance.
Alcohol and other bottled drinks also
contain additives - which can undermine
general health.
