Itching on the eyelid
My eye lid is itching since 3 weeks. I do not feel itching all the time but few hours in a day there is itching sensation. I showed to an eye doctor also... he did all the examination of eye and said there is no issue. He gave me lubrex eye drops and an allergy tablet. But it doesnt seem to work. Please suggest me any cream or tablet for this

Itching mean allergy, usually. If it is first time, search for any alleregen. Allergy causing agents are pleanty around us. Cleaning house, lot of flowering plants, especially if you have exotic plants. Even otherwise, depending upon season, lot of pollen float around.  If you are in an urban area, pollution from industries, vehicles etc. Pets are another source. Danders, animal hair is the cause if you have pets. Cosmetics is another common cause. So search and avoid. Use olopatadine eye drops as prescribed by your eye doctor,  1 drop 2 times a day for minimum 2 to 3 months. Why so long? This kind of allergy is seasonal, more during summer, due to atmospheric dust etc and winter due to pollen or other causes. So use till the season is over. No relief ,  consultations. a must.
