My husband and I met on the internet. He was from Florida and we now live in Ohio.. anyways…when he finally drove up here to stay for good.. he drove 20 hours straight & was exhausted. I noticed his eyes looked pink (& he said they itched) and the right eye seem to have a prominent red swollen vein in the white part. We figured it was exhaustion. Well, now 7 years later, he STILL has this eye problem (mainly in just the right eye) and we have no idea why. He went to an eye doctor & he prescribed allergy meds (which didn’t work) .. He went to his regular physician who said he was “allergic to the air” and sent him to an allergist. The allergist did a skin test & the results were all negative? When he’s tired or around smoke his eye get worse / more red and itch & hurts more. Even when he’s symptom free the right eye has the constant red vein? Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on this? When he lived in Florida he never had this problem at all, and BAM as soon as he moved here it started and never went away?

michigan roman: have you tried oil pulling? I just started reading about it recently.. did it help you at all?
skystrdust: thanks the info. although my husband doesn’t wear contacts, i appreciate your input.
LizK: you are a lifesaver! thank you so much for giving me all those details on what type of solutions to buy. we now have a little hope because we didn’t know what else to try. Hm, I’m wondering if he sleeps with his eyes open too? how did you know you do that???
rawmama: my hub’s eyes often look like pink-eye ( just without the goopy crust that usually accompanies it) – thanks so much for the info, i hope to get some otc drops for him today.
lizk: lol, that is hilarious about your 10th grade trip! He told me he’s not sure if he sleeps w/his eyes open (they don’t feel more dry when he awakens)..so i’m going to have to catch him asleep & found out for myself…
have_mersey: do you mean you make an eyewash out of diluted tea? is regular filtered water okay to use?
