What Is The Treatment For Pressure In The Eye?

Hi, Im 22 years old and have been suffering now for 6 years. I have a constant pressure behind my left eye and it feels as though someones pressing their finger into the crease of my eyelid. Also, my right eye has begun drooping- and i cannot seem to raise my right brow as easily. I have severe allergies and due to this its caused ALL my eyelashes to fall out. And when they grow in they grow in crooked and short- and eventually fall out too. I have not had them for over 2 years- and have been getting bumps that puss and itch when they do try to grow back in. I have noticed a loss in vision as well as dramatic drooping in right eye when i get tired or drink. Right now it feels as though my right side on my face is sagging downwards- and my eye appears smaller than the other eye- which is completely fine. I think astigmatism may be possible but I m not sure as all my doctor did to help the eyelash problem was prescribe latisse- which i refuse to take as i dont think thatll solve my problems. What is happening to me? Am i growing a tumour or could it be cancer? Why do i have sudden pressure changes and ptosis in one eye. It looks as though my eye is changing shapes. I have gotten used to the fact that i have no eyelashes and that they are CONSTANTLY itching and bothering me causing me to rub my eyes- could this be the cause of my lazy eye or the drooping of the lid? I sometimes get very swollen large lids- that hurt a lot. But hot compresses seem to bring them down. My eyes are destroying my life, my self confidence, and the way i act at work and in public. I am truly embarresed that my eyes are eyelashless and seemingly crooked.
