Common Questions and Answers about Itchy eyes in the morning
itchy
For instance, yesterday my right eye was irritated and I thought there might have been something in my eye but by the next morning the irritation was gone. Now today, it's my left eye. I don't wake up with this irritation it seems to occur sometime during the day and only in one eye at a time. I don't have pink eye. My eye feels like there is something inside the upper lid. This has been occurring everyday but it seems to alternate. It never occurs in both eyes.
We were on holidays a fortnight ago with an early morning flight, later that day I could feel almost a stiffness developing in my left eyelid, by the next morning the eye was up! Few days later , same week, we had a bit of a sand storm, thought I'd got a littel sand in my right eye, sure enough next morning right eye was up!
I used to have symptoms like blood shot eyes, and pain in the eye in the morning. The cure I found was to buy a really good humidifier for my room and treat my eyes with eye drops whenever they start to feel dry. The problem has gone away, and I am convinced, that at least for myself, that was the problem. Hope this helps.
My inner lower eyelids are allways red, espacially in the corners. In the morning my eye vessels show. In the evening my eyes get red (about 6 pm). They are a bit itchy. And one of my eyes vision is blury. What is it? Is it serious? How to cure it? I would be very thankful if anyone could answer me.
I had lasik back in 02 & never had a problem--had white eyes & never dry. Just used OTC generic artificial tears here & there. Then in 5/08, I develop. red eyes & had a prominent vessel in my left eye. Eye dr. said it was strain from studying for my MBA and should go away on its own. He took eye tests and put me on restasis. The redness went away but the prominent vessel stayed. It's still there to this day & the eye dr.
Recently, while traveling in Uganda, Africa (about two weeks into the trip), I started waking up with red itchy hands in the morning. Also the syptoms appear with exposure to cold, and when I sweat or exercise, and the reaction spreads all over my body on occasion...and I still have them since returning home two weeks ago. I was taking Doxycycline for malaria prevention, for about 30 days, and stopped about a week ago. Reaction to the meds? Nasty tropical disease?
Hi, I'm 24 and have a red rash around both my eyes, on the outside of the soft tissue under my eyes. They seem to diminish but not entirely if I put Benadryl cream on them. I think it might be from an indoor pool I've been swimming in for exercise, but I don't have health insurance and don't know what to do! They seem to diminish if I miss a few days at the pool but they won't go away completely. Please help!!
Hi Shayshay,
I too am allergic to most everything. Trees grasses weeds dogs cats molds and sensitive to almost every chemical on the planet. I used to be a clean freak and scented most everything - now I can smell Alvin the chipmunk's cologne. HA! I also have been diagnosed with Vocal Chord dysfunction, and after experiencing a few episodes of anaphylaxis, I now have an epi pen. I've been weaning myself off Zyrtec and am now on about 1mg in the evenings.
The inner corner of my right eye, like the pink part that touches your eye, where the morning gunk usually is, is very itchy, and kind of hurts every time I blink. I don't know what to do, and when wearing contacts I use a solution to clean my contacts, like the drops. I'm not allergic to anything that I know of, though I have never taken a test. I never had a reaction to anything. It seems to be only the right eye, and it's hard not to touch it.
When I woke up this morning, lifted my head and looked out my bedroom door into adjacent living area, I wondered why the outside porch light had gone out during the night because the area was dark in the morning predawn hours. I laid my head back down, closed my eyes and looked again and saw the light from the porch filtering in and noticed the light had in fact been on.
I have a recurring condition that affects both of my eyes (more the right than the left). It begins with a burning sensation, then I awake in the morning with swollen, itchy eyes that are red on my eyelids and below my eyes almost to my cheek bones. I am left with scaley, sagging skin above and below my eyes, and bags of fluid that collect under my eyes right above my cheek bones. My skin responds as though it has been burned by crusting over and collecting fluid.
As an initial trial, have some dry eyes drops beside your bed, which you can just reach out for, in the morning. Without fully opening your eyes squeeze in a drop in the affected eye; in my case I find that this usually - instantly - releases the eyelid - if the eyelid can be released so easily and quickly after the drops, this says to me that 'dry eye'/blepharitis is likely to be the cause.
I used a washcloth compress to get the swelling down and the eyes continued to be red and swollen and itchy and I noticed little blisters kind of like what I get when I wear cheap jewelry and get a chemical reaction from the metal. I have tried some Zatidor eyedrops-antihistime twice daily. It does seem to help a little inside the eye (very little).
