sore, itchy , puffy eyes

[angiebaby20]

need someones help!!!

about 6 weeks ago my left eye started to get itchy near to my tear duct. At first i just thought it was dust etc but over the last few weeks the condition has got worse. Every morning when i wake up my eyes are really puffy, eyelids appear swollen, they feel sore and slightly bloodshot. This carries on throughout the day but slightly improves throughout the day, but then worsens again towards the end of the day. They are itchy a lot too. I tried eyedrops, they help but dont take it away, i've tried taking an antihistamine too incase it was a allegry but still no improvement. I do wear glasses, but not all the time, generaly for driving and reading. Im 25. Can anyone help? this is driving me mad!!!

You do know that you are responding to a 4 year old thread?

It can be from food allergies stop all sugar wheat and dairy for a few weeks and see then slowly reintroduced dairy back and see how you react then the next two I honesty think it is smart to stay away from wheat. Change all makeup to natural organic line, Stop all shampoos and conditioners change to something chemical free. Then look around you is your pet, mold spores smells food clothing chemical could you have a gas leak in your house could carbon monoxide be leaking into your house could it be from you car ....this is how you figure out the cause.
