Cod I have had this.
Tried loads of eye drops
Doc thought blepheritis (sp?) but treatment for that (bathing) didn't help. In the end I decided all it could be was an allergic reaction (gp did a swab for infection)
What worked in the end:
Cold turkey on all make up round eyes
Chucked out a load of eye make up (I think Lancome stuff triggered it in the first place) and sterilised all brushes, eye lash curlers etc
Used anti-allegy eye drops for a couple of weeks
I can only use clinique stuff now - anything else makes eyes flare up. Have had eyelashes dyed so i don't need mascara all the time.
