Suggest Treatment For Irritation, Redness And Dryness In The Eyes

my eyes are irritated, red and very dry. it feels like I m sleepy. I have been to 3 doctors. The first dr. said I have pink and received drop, but it did not help. the second dr. it was allergy. I went to XXXX and they said that I have dry eyes and that I could have allergy, but nothing is helping. I just think it s more than allergies. I am 58 years old and never suffered with allergies. I don t have a runny nose and I am not sneezing, it s affecting my vision.

Hello,

It could be age-induced dryness od eyes. Also, get a thyroid check up done. I would advise you to use naphazoline and artificial tears.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
