Eye changes

 

Eye changes:
Some patients develop excessive tearing and eyelash changes that irritate their eyes.

  • Artificial tears may relieve symptoms.
  • In severe cases, topical steroid ointment may be applied, but be sure that there is no infection present.
  • Eyelash removal may be needed in some patients who have persistent uncomfortable irritation from altered eyelashes.

Some patients develop blepharitis:

  • It is characterized by chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins, with redness of the eyes, itching and irritation.
  • Treatment includes removal of the eyelid margin debris, avoiding makeup, using antibiotic to reduce the burden of bacteria.
