continuous left eye stinging/irritation

since my facial surgery Nov. 7 I have had a problem with my left eye... have been to an eyedoctor now 4x...  yesterday to the eye institute in Miami... one time they found something behind my eye... they have been flipping my lid to see if there was more behind it, nothing... the doctor at the eyeinstitute told me yesterday that it seems looking at me I have an allergy?  never had eyeproblems before... I have dry eyes, but never pain, my right eye is fine... now he is putting me on steroids, lubrication etc.  what is wrong??  It feels there is something in there, even when I close my eye it stings... even when I put eyecream in there in stings... I can not stand the light my eye just closes automatically from pain...  This is a horrible way to live!  Please help!

I did go yesterday to the Bascom Palmer and saw Dr. Roger A. Goldber M.D.
he says it looks like looking at me that my eye is allergic???   I never had an eyeproblem, so now he puts me on steroid drops plus washing my eyelids 2x day with babyshampoo....  I read from an other patient that was put on steroids it helped but as soon as she stopped it came back???

get a second opinion, a close examination can only tell the problem.
