Everytime i go to the gym my eyes always flair up and my eyelids become swollen!! I suffer from allergic conjunctivitis and it gets worse everytime i exercise. Sport is a big part of my life and because my eyes flare up during exercise it compleately stops me from particapating in any sports whatsoever. Can u suggest anything to help me please? Dafydd

1. If you wear contacts its likely the contacts. Wear glasses.
2. Exercise outdoors, swim or try a different gym.
3. See an Eye MD to discuss this. I think you can be helped. You may have blepharitis. IF its allergy there are eyedrops that should help. Find an Eye  MD at www.aao.org

Lotemax is a steroid. You should get the instructions from the MD that prescribed them.
