maybe you have got hayfever now but never had before i only started to get hayfever about 7 yrs ago - on and off over the years though

Biglips · 06/03/2007 11:51

i feel better if i wash my eyes with plain water which its a relief

Hmmm, sounds like you should get someone to squirt breastmilk in it. It's sterile you know and anit bacterial. Works wonders for conjunctivitis

sounds like an infection

Aefondkiss · 06/03/2007 11:52

you might not have been allergic in the past but that doesn't mean you will never be prone to allergies

sympathy , my dh gets this and doesn't get much relief from the doctor's prescriptions

If you've got an 'orse in your eye, you should see a vet.

I've found Kamillosan pretty good for this sort of thing. Had red dry sore eyelids after DS1.

My hunch is that unfortunately you have become sensitised to something in your mascara or eye make-up cod
It happens even after years of happy itch-free usage.

no no cat allergies affects both the eyes, you get big blisters over your corneas.

foxinsocks · 06/03/2007 11:58

could be eye make up remover too - what do you use to get stuff off?

No idea what it was really - kind of put it down to baby wipes.. having the wipe stuff on my hands and then wiping tired eyes or using a wipe after a wet only nappy change to clean my hands then rubbing my eyes. Def sounds like an allergy though. Only no make up #and no other products will really sort it.

nailpolish · 06/03/2007 12:03

try clarins instead?

noddyholder · 06/03/2007 12:03

This happened to my mum and she had to switch to almay mascara and hey presto gone!
