What Causes Itching And Watery Discharge In Eyelids?

I am an 85 year old female and for the past two weeks I have had intense itching of the eyes/eyelids (near the lashline). I do have seasonal allergies but this is not the usual itching, watery, sneezing symptoms I have with those. This is more intense and if I rub them much before bedtime I awaken in the morning with a sticky substance on the lashes causing me to apply warm water on the eyes to ease opening. Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic


I reviewed your history.
The symptoms of itching and watering in the eyelids indicate allergy of the eye and requires treatment by the use of antiallergic eye drops like olopatadine.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
