Mucus like layer under my eyelid

2019-03-12 06:39:38
I frequently get mucus like layer on my eyelids. If I pull them out, sometimes they come out easily, sometimes it's thicker and sticker. Becomes irritable and difficult as I wear contact lenses. I googled it and I found Dacryocystitis symptoms quite similar to mine. Also I have severe sinusitis problem. Please suggest.

Hello Dacryocystitis is inflammation of lacrimal gland. Syringing and probing is best method to confirm the diagnosis. Consult local ophthalmologist

Most likely it's due to dryness  which might be getting aggravated by contact lenses and computer or mobile  usage. Please put some lubricant eye drops eg teardrops 3to 4times daily and ocupol.dx eye oint to be rubbed twice daily on lids and take some antioxidants cap once daily eg revital.
