I too have been suffering with this eye problem for over two months now. I've read about the dust mites and it's suggested that you wash your bed linens once a week in hot water, vacuum your rug in that room as well as drapes, etc. Use non allergenic pillows and wash them every couple of months. Change the pillow cases once a week. I've been blaming live Christmas trees for this problem because I get it every year right before Christmas. I found out it doesn't seem to matter because the same thing happens even when I use an artificial tree! I don't know what it could possibly be.

I know how you feel. There are really good antihistamine eye drops available. One is called Elestat. It is a mast cell stabilizer. Anyway, ask your doctor about it and get a prescription. In the meantime, you can get homeopathic relief with an allergy eye drops from a company called Similasan. The eye drops are sold at pharmacies and places like wal mart. it will help you a lot!

Pink eye is a possibility. If you've ever had pink eye once and it reoccurs you will have no doubt. There is an over the counter eye drop for pink eye, but initial diagnosis should be made by a physician. Shell it out and go see a doctor...

You may have what is known as Pink Eye or Conjuctivitis. This is identified by irritation of the inner lid and lacrimal gland [aka tear duct]. Check with your doctor as this may resolve itself but could lead to further problems and is contagious...

Ooook.... Are you allergic to anything? Did you already try rinsing out your eye with lukewarm water? Also, if u r brave, u can try peeling down the skin under your eye and poking through there to see if there is dirt or mucus in it.

Go to your eye docter. lots of things can irritate your eye without any notice..I get it ALL the time. He'll give you drops to take it all away. Those htings are your best friend.
