Dry skin under eye

Postby Johnni » Sun 21 Feb 2010 11:53 am

Hi
I had Keratoconus for about 5 yrs now and wear RGP lenses. One eye has developed worse than the other and thankfully they havent got worse that much since i was diagnosed.
One thing i see however is that my eyes water in both eyes alot. Taking dry eye drops help but i noticed that only in one eye do i get dry skin forming.
Right in the corner of my eye (the worser eye) i get dry flakiy skin and use cream to get rid but it comes back. The other eye is fine even though that waters also. Why am i only seeing this in one eye?

The straightforward answer to your question is 'I don't know!'. I do understand how perplexing this must be.

Do you have an ophthalmology clinic any time soon. Your doc may be able to prescribe something that will address the problem.

Let is know how you get on.
