When I went to the doctor's it turned out that because from where I'm coming from, I lived in the big city where there wasn't much nature so I never was allergic during the spring. Now, in the USA, I live in Bethesda, where the air is really pure and there are a lot of trees and flowers growing around. During the spring, they start flowering and the trees let off this green dusty thing (don't know what it is) and you can barely see it but it's killing me. My eyes start burning and it's like I haven't slept for days. They're just highly sensitive. What I was told, is that because I have lived my whole life in a different place where EVERYIONE is a smoker and it's more polluted ,my immune system never had to deal with the greeny thingy. They told me that because I'm going to be staying here, I'll just have to deal with it or something (take pills probably) and wait it out. Who knows, maybe after a couple of years I wouldn't be reacting to it that badly. Overall, it's just the change of the surroundings, you never know. Maybe you're reacting to something that you've never experienced where you live. It doesn't have to be that green dusty thingy I told you about. Hope you get better though :) [ DoriHG's advice column | Ask DoriHG A Question ]
es answered Thursday April 24 2008, 5:22 pm: i have had the same problem. mine happened was because i was leaving in my contacts for too long. it could be that your eyes are exhausted from the contacts and you should make sure you use a new pair every 2 weeks to ensure that your eyes don't get irritated. try wearing glasses rather than the contacts for a few days and see if that helps
franchy93 answered Thursday April 24 2008, 2:13 pm: hmm this is kind of odd but the same thing kinda happened to me just it lasted two days and i was putting eyedrops like every two minutes, what helped lots to bring the redness down was green tea warm up a cup of green tea like your going to drink it then pour out a very iny bit into a bowl or another cup & get cotton balls then just lay down and put it on your eye make sure that some of the green tea gets inside your eye too it may sting a little at first but it works ohh & the green tea has to be warm not boiling but semi warm hope it helps :) [ franchy93's advice column | Ask franchy93 A Question ]
