Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Jim, Hello, how are you doing? We don't see much of you online. I see that a couple of people have already responded to your eye questions. It is very important that you see your Ophthalmologist. Several things may be happening. You may have a simple case of blepharitis. Fancy term for irritation of the eyelids. It's actually caused by a fungus or bacteria on the eyelid. Your ophthalmologist will instruct you on how to do eyelid scrubs with s baby shampoo and a Q-tip. Works magic. The other problems can be anything from the " lupus pernio " that comes with the sarcoidosis, or psorosis or any number of other causes. It can be " shingles (aka herpes zoster) or something of that nature. There isn't a " fit one, fit all " answer here-- so see your eye doc. Don't let it go too long, it can cause major problems and possible spread to the inside of your eyelid and then it starts scratching the cornea and your in real pain at that point. aHope this helps, Tracie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 If you are having any type of pain or eye pain you need to see a specialist about this. My specialist put me on Alrex and Restasis twice a day. These are prescriptions. Sharon Eyes I have a lot of probs with my eyes. A general irritation around the eyelid which is bad at this moment.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hey Jim. I have had eye problems off/ on since 71. The first sign of a problem you should see a Ophtalmologist.Sarc loves to punch us in the eye.so see a Ophtalmologist ASAP.I am just getting over a flair up of anterior uveitis. Take care and stay on top of your eye problem Quint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
