Have Swollen And Puffy Eyes. Eye Lashes Falls Out A Lot. They Are Thin. Should I Be Worried About The Findings?
Hi name is Mary. I look younger then what I look for my age and I try to eat health and try to exercise at least two to three times a week. Now, lately have been suffering of swollen and puffy eyes and it been about 6 months now. My eyes get a little better about 4pm but come 9 or 10 pm they start to get puffy and my up eye starts to swollen up again. Then also have been suffered of my eye lashes falling out a lot, a lot every 4 months to the point that I'm till I'm only left with the very small eye lashes. After about two week it stops and they start growing back again but my not all come back so I have less I eye lashes and thin but lately they just fall out everyday but not in a rapid speed as before non the large amount but I have notice that I have a lot less then before. I went to the doctor in April and they say everything is normal. I really think this is not normal, what can I do?
Hello, It seems from the history that you have provided that you are having puffiness of the eyelids and falling of eyelashes. These symptoms indicate chronic blepharitis affecting the margin of the eyelids. The treatment of the condition also takes quite long and it is mainly by cleaning the eye lid margin and using antibiotic or antibiotic and steroid eye ointment. Please do consult your ophthalmologist and ask him regarding chronic blepharitis, he will be able to guide you better for treatment of the condition.
Thank you
