What Can Cause Irritation Around An Old Surgical Stitch On The Eyelid?
Wife is Asian, had eye lid surgery about 16 years ago. Now is complaining about the old stitches are irritating her eyes. Is that possible after that many years. She is on the computer a lot and I noted the veins under her eye lids are large and many. Her eye naturally press outward against the lids. Is there a condition here that we can put a name too?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This sounds like dry eye which is pretty common in computer users. I would advise you to use artificial tear drops. Also get your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist.
Hope it helps.
