Swollen itchy eyes

[lorisparkle]

Most years I get swollen and itchy eyes in October (who knows what environmental factor I am allergic to!). However this year they started in July and are far worse.

I am using otirivine eye drops regularly. Fexofenadine daily and chloropenamine maleate at bedtime.

I have spoken to pharmacist and nurse practitioner

However my eyes are awful- I wake in the night with them glued together. In the morning they are incredibly swollen.

Any other ideas.......

Are you taking an antihistamine tablet OP?

Also clinitas soothe drops are very helpful. They are very soothing and help to wash out the allergens.

What is your lid hygiene like?

Yes, I am taking fexofenadine daily plus a cheaper version of piriton at night to try and help me sleep.

I will investigate the drops you suggest. I am allergic to antibiotic eye drops so I am always wary of things I put in my eyes.

I moisturise my eyes with aveeno frequently and very occasionally (after advice from GP) use a mild hydrocortisone cream.
