Around May/June 2006 I was getting some flaking skin around my left eyelid. Somedays it looked ok, other days more noticable. Then around August I noticed in the morning that my left eye was relatively bloodshot every morning. The right was a little bit bloodshot, but not as much. Then it seemed to be bloodshot during the day so I made an appt.
I went to the eye doctor and he said it was eye allergy, and gave me Lotemax. It cleared it up in a few days. However it seemed to return, but not as bad as the first time. I went back, saw a different eye doc and she put me on Patonel. She also said I had an eye allergy, she said i have small little bumps on the inside of my eyelids, caused by allergy.
The Patonel sort of works in my opinion. After 30 days I went for a follow up and she said my eyes were a better, and there were less bumps and to keep using Patonel.
My only concern is that for the first 20 minutes after I wake up my left eye mainly, is bloodshot, then it clears before I even put in the patonel after my shower.
I don't have have any bloodshot look during the day anymore. And sometime around October, I did not notice any more flaking of skin. The eye doc says up close she can still see a little flaking however.
So things are a bit better in the sense that I don't see any visible flaking around the eyelid. My eye(s) are not bloodshot during the day, but i still wake up with the bloodshot look.
Any thoughts?
