Extreme Eye Problem

I was living far north and have a had excema appear on the inside of both elbows when this happened. Living up in northern canada there was an extremely hot shower, (which is how i got my excema on the inside of the crooks of my elbows as a kid) well i had noticed my eyelids felt dry and after an extremely long shower they started to itch then swell - obviousely it because a problem as they scabbed and  the right one even swelled shut after several different diagnosis's i got put on protopic .1% and it seemed to clear up slowly. That was over the summer, since then i have managed to keep it under control but now another problem arises, before the incident i was a competitive swimmer, the excema on my elbows may have gotten bad at times but it was always bearable, but i have since been "taking a break" because of my eyes and my overall health and moral have drastically decreased along with a light state of depression caused by not being able to do the one thing i love. This is even further complicated as i am living in university in a dorm and without swimming it was manageable but now that its winter time the way the residence is heated has caused excrebated the problem so that even  with treatment i am loosing vision in my right eye do to swelling on the eyelid. My question is what can i do.. its not healthy for me not to swim, i need that, and on top o that even without swimming - the heat i cannot escape so as it stands now im in and extremely uncomfortable situation. are there any procedures that could give me long lasting treatment, any medications that might offer a semi perment fix i must add that when swimming i use goggles and before gettign into the pool use vaseline on the eyelids as a moisture barrier but that will not allow me to swim daily or even weekly and with this heat problem it seems that the roof is coming down on my health.
