Allergies

I have been experiencing symptoms such as itchy, burning, gritty,extremely hazy, swollen eyes and have been extremely light sensitive. This has been occuring since the beginning of November. I have been to 3 eye doctors, two of them specialists who have all given me the clear, saying my eyes are perfect, except for the last dr who said he saw a few dry spots and allergin spots on my eyes. I just want to know what is going on with my eyes. Could this all be allergies?

yes.  "itchy" eyes is the HALLMARK of ocular allergy.  you need to find someone who will give you a "yes" or "no" on ocular allergy and possibly rx you some ocular antihistamines (do not use over the counter ocular antihistamines)

Will the itching and light sensitivity eventually be tamed? I cant stand it anymore!

zaditor?  thats the mast cell stabilizer and antihistamine made by novartis.  a good product, one i rx regularly.

how long have you been on it?  it can take weeks to have its maximum effect...

it will generally NOT fix "dryness" problems.  in fact it may even actually cause you to be MORE dry...

I just started it yesterday. I am not looking to cure dryness, that i can handle but its the light sensitivity that i can't stand anymore!
