What Causes Dry Eyes And Itchiness?
My husband complains of sore right eye, he says it s tender, sometimes painful, watery, & itchy. Ophthalmologist saw nothing, said dry eyes & gave drops. No help. I notice a small swelling on the top inner eyelid. He has no allergies. What can it be?

Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having dry eyes and itching of the eyes. These symptoms indicate dry eyes and treatment is by use of artificial tears eye drops as advised by your doctor.
The swelling on the inner eye lid can be because of inflammation of the glands of the eyelids. The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Thank you
