What Causes Scaly Eyelid And Dryness Around The Eyes?
I have had chronic dry eye since December 2016. I have been to an opthomologist twice given steroids and restasis. My last visit was a month ago and the doctor said that it was getting better and to just use over the counter refresh drops. For the past week, I now am noticing a scaly left eyelid and the skin around both eyes is getting dry. I am also getting puffiness and redness at the bottom of both eyes and my left eye is swollen. I have never had any problems with my skin and am not sure what I should do.
