Red eye since 5 months ago
Hi
I'm really worried, no one can understand what's wrong with my eye.
I've seen lot of oftamologists but no one seems to be able to give me an answer.
My right eye (in particular the right corner) is ALWAYS red, sometimes is more red, sometimes less red. When I wake up in the morning, my eye is redder and sight (from that eye) is not clear for about 15 minutes. I also feel that it's really dry.
I've used every kind of eyedrop and I had been diagnosed with: "lateral congiunctivitis", "episcleritis", and now "blepharitis" (that is not really bad) and the doctor told me that i could have chlamidya as well. But he still told me "i don't know why that part of the eye is so red, it is very strange".
Now I'm using doxycycline capsules and fluorometholone eyedrop.
When my eye became red was a period of stress and I had spent lot of time in front of the computer or reading, or drawing. Suddenly I felt that my eyes where dry, and it happened.
But there's also something else that I would like and that could be related:
years ago a cistis appeared on the left side on my eye and when touched it my eye became red and I had blefarithis (with all the symptoms related like tears and sticky eyes that now i have not at all).
This cistis remained in my eye for years.
Before my eye became red again i had the bad idea to put "Finea gel" on it, a gel that i used for some spots that suddenly appeared on my face during the summer. The cistis when out and now i can barely feel it, but my eye had this reaction... ('cause i think it could be related)
Other symptoms: my nose is very very often closed (i think it's a kind of chronic rinitis, doctor said that i probably have an allergy), my lower gums are always inflamed and i often have otitis on the right ear. I also have reflux and very very often i have disfagia, i feel like things i eat remain in my breast (could be esofagitis, i don't know).
Does someone understand what could be wrong with me? I'm becoming crazy, I can't stand this redness anymore. What could it be? Please help me.

I looked at the style n clean pen and it looks like it should be used ultra careful or you're looking at a corneal abrasion.
I have been suffering from blepharitis myself for some years now. I recently found a cleaning pen that has been such a lifesaver for me. I use it together with an accompanying cleansing gel to clean my eyelids in the mornings and evenings and this takes care of the itching, redness and soreness I used to experience. The product is called the style'n'clean pen, maybe this can help you.
You are seeing "ophthalmologists". I don't know what 'cistis' is its not a medical term. Even using a phonetic pronunciation I don't recognize it. Your problem is not related to stress, reading, drawing or computer use. You are on an antibiotic which will help blepharitis and a topical steroid which will help "episcleritis". If your eye does not respond to the powerful medications then see if your local eye doctors will refer you to a university eye clinic. Discuss with your ophthalmologists using a lubricating eye ointment in the eye at bedtime such as Refresh PM, Duolube, Lacrilube, be sure you are not sleeping under a fan at night.
i forgot to say that i'm astigmatic and long sighted, but from the right eye i see less and i'm less long sighted. I started using glasses for this problems just one week ago.
