Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Dear Xena ,From your history I believe you are suffering from allergic conjunctivitis.The skin around your eye has dried and wrinkled. there is high chance that you may have associated atopic dermatitis. I believe you may require low dose steroid drops in your eyes and steroid cream around your eyes if atopia is present. I would suggest you to visit your ophthalmologist and a skin specialist once more who can rule out atopic dermatitis and help you out if there is no improvement in your signs and symptoms....TC..Dr Ajay Shankar Kar..
