Have White Line Eyeball Edge, From It Red Irritation To Conjunctiva. Had Eye Damage From Hyperthyroid. Allergy?

I have a white line on the inner edge of the brown part of my eyeball. From that there is a deep red irritation to the white part of my eye heading toward the tear duct. Now it is happening to rhe other eye. The first eye is clearing up after 2 days. Can this be allergy related. I do have a history of eye damage from hyper thyroid. There is no pain, no discharge

Hello

It appears that you are suffering from angular conjunctivitis in both eyes. You are advised to use some steroid eye drops about 3 times day and some steroid ointment at night. Besides you should take care of hygiene of the eyes by repeated washing with clean water and avoiding dust/smoke.

After the condition subsides, you should use some lubricating eye drops for about 1 month which will have a soothing effect on your eyes.

Regards
