Good evening dear nairlander,

Please don't mind my English as i may not be perfect but I will want you all to pick the point of what's actually my problem.....have been battling with this eye problem right from my childhood days, this particular problem I'm having is that my eyes always pain me and itching me causing it to be become reddish, and whenever I sleep and wake up my whole eyes will have been covered with should I call it eyes mucor which yoruba know as (IPIN) and this makes it difficult to see fully at first in the morning. I have tried all form of eye drops and drug as it will relive me for sometime and start again, I noticed it always occur at a particular time every year mostly around (April or may) then will stop after for like three month as it has been like this since when I'm young......this usually makes feel dejected whenever I go out cos it's always reddish and people always think I'm smoking which I don't use to do so.

Please if anybody has experienced this before and doctors in the house....kindly help me out on the steps to take to fully get out of this

I didn't read all your post but just know these few things about the eye

The eye is over 70% water and need water or essentially lubricant like chloramphenicol to lubricate it well well

Also don't miss the morning sunlight its very good for the eyes. That is don't stay indoors in the morning around 7-11am, go outside and receive the morning sun, they are very good for the eyes.

If anything like dust or insect enter your eyes. Don't rub it with your hands, just flush it with clean pure water. Let the water reach the eye balls and it will bring out the dirt small small later on as ipin.


Don't pour salt, sugar, or other things like palm oil or groundnut oil inside your eyes. Your eyes is not a laboratory for experiments.

Visit an eye clinic for eye check whether you need glasses or you don't.

Also avoid smoky environment, don't stay near smoke, they are not good for the eyes.

Always get a bottle of clean water nearby you. This is for cleaning your eyes, Don't use clothes or bare hand to be rubbing your eyes. Just flush it with water. That's all

@Op, if you are able to, take very good pictures of your eyes when these problems happen, and post them so we can get a better idea of what you are referring to.

On the one hand, I think dry, itchy eyes- a possible seasonal allergy but then you mention the secretions and that sounds like meibomianitis as well. Then you mention persistent redness, and that could be serious dry eye issues, but there is really no way to say for sure unless one sees these things. You can edit the picture so your identity is not revealed.
