What Could Itchy Eyes With Swelling And Dryness Suggest?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hi, I have been experiencing eye redness and irritation off and on for the last year and can not attribute it to any eye makeup, etc. It is highly irritated, extremely red, swollen and then gets dry and flaky. It seems like an allergy, but I don't know to what?

thanks for posting your query to health care magic.
as I understand it may be due to ywo reason 1. Because of allergy to environmental allergen . 2. Vision defect .
you need to consult to an optometrician or an Ophthalmic surgeon for testing vision of eye . If it is found normal it could be allergic in origin . For which antiallergic drop can be used under guidance of your ophthalamologist .
thanks .
