Itchy eyes - possible allergies?

[aleene]

Recently I have had unbearably itchy eyes and eyelids. Possible suspect foods include dark chocolate, orange juice and tomatoes.

Anyone else similiar? Any advice welcome.

Itchy eyes doesn't always mean alergies. I had the same and it turned out to be Blepharitis...an infection of the eyelash follicles. I was lucky to catch it as it can make your lashes fall out permanently!

Thanks for that. I was a bit worried that it might be an eye infection. Wondering if I should see a doctor.

Yes...because it's easily fixed. Don't leave it.

Have an appointment for tomorrow. Did they give you antibiotics? What I have read says it reoccurs and I have def had this before. Just thought it was an allergy. Worried I have done some damage already. feeling upset about this which is SO STUPID in the grand scale of things.

I had antibiotic drops....but don't worry! It's hay fever season....he'll know if its that right away...

Doctor thinks it is allergic conjunctivitis (sp) and gave me eye drops. My eyes are a lot better today. Feeling a lot better in general. Thank you for the advice!
