I have had itchy eyes forever, but last year for some reason they got worse.

I’ve had astilazene dropsand opticrom drops. Neither make any difference. I’ve also had steroid drops which were fantastic but you can’t take them long term.

I’ve had about 7 trips to emergency eye clinic in the last 10 months. This is because l rub my eyes often unthinkingly and often when asleep which causes corneal grazes. I am desperately waiting for the appt l have finally at the allergy clinic next week.

Do l have this thing? I know l have allergic eye disease but it never ever stops bloody itching. I’m going mad. I have horrid stringy discharge when l itch them, but no redness or grittyness. Just endless itching. Wtf is wrong with me?
