She needs to see an opthomologist aka eye specialist for a proper diagnosis. Have her get a referral or make an appointment with an opthomologist and get this checked out. 2 years is too long to be messing around with the eyes without getting a clearcut diagnosis. She could be risking serious eye problems by not getting this checked out. Good Luck.

A stye, medically known as a hordeolum, is a small lump that appears on, inside or under the eyelid or on eyelashes. Styes typically result from a staphylococcal bacteria infection or from a clogging of the oil glands around the eyelashes or inside the eyelid, but can be triggered during times of stress. They are usually harmless, despite their appearance – causing redness, tenderness, pain and sometimes light-sensitivity and eye-watering.
Styes are often confused with chalazion, which are cysts that forms on or inside the eyelids as a result of a blockage of one or more of meibomian glands. However, a chalazion is not an infection and is usually painless, but may attract bacteria and lead to an infection. Styes that appear on the eyelid are usually deeper, more painful and last longer than those appearing on the eyelash.
Symptoms
Redness, tenderness and pain are usually the first symptoms of a stye (though eyelash styes are less painful and heal with less effort than eyelid styes). These are followed by:
Swelling in a small area or the entire eyelid
The affected eye may water, feel irritated or be sensitive to light
Discomfort when blinking
A small yellowish spot (pointing) in the center of a sty, which occurs when pus collects and expands. Pain is usually is relieved when the sty ruptures, draining the pus

I'm not an expert or anything, but I have heard of this before. A health class I took in high school (like, 8 years ago) said that it is possible to get an infection inside your eyes - the eye lids or even on the eyeball. Many of them are greenish in color. Does she wear contacts? If so, it may be related to not changing or cleaning them regularly. It also could be connected to glaucoma. If the doctor said it was an allergy, she should have been given some sort of antibiotic to make it go away.
