What Do Dryness And Itching In The Eyes Indicate?
I have severe dry, itchy eyes. I have tried OTC dry eye drops and now the skin around my eyes feels burned. It is red and gets flaky, almost peeling. Still itches. I have tried Vaseline, baby oil, brands of gel for eyes, etc. Nothing is calming this down. Any suggestions?

Hello,
It is an allergy with a dry eye problem. You can take tablet levocetrizine daily morning for ten days. Use refresh eye teardrop and lubricating eye ointment can be used. Do not use things which are not authenticated. They will not help. It is an autoimmune disorder. You can consult an eye doctor for advice on treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash
