Members rallied around someone experiencing itchy, raw eyelids, with many sharing that they deal with the same frustrating symptom, particularly on one eye, and some experiencing eyelid twitching as well. Several members recommended practical remedies including cool damp compresses to calm inflammation, preservative-free eye drops like Systane, nighttime eye ointment, and A&D ointment on the eyelids, while also suggesting the possibility of allergies, hay fever, or dry eye conditions like Sjogren's that may require evaluation by an eye doctor. A recurring theme was the importance of not ignoring persistent symptoms, seeking professional guidance if the issue continues, and finding relief through a combination of over-the-counter solutions and medical advice.

My ophthalmologist said it's dry eye. I use non preserved eye drops as needed and night time ointment. Follow the directions. Makes it livable doesn't bother me too much anymore.

Yes, I am afraid it sounds more like allergies!! They are disgusting! I have to take over the counter Benadryl for that; but I have to take Dr ordered nose drops! I am sorry that you may have allergies! I sneeze every morning, at least three times! Good luck, Sweet Friend!!

I have extremely dry eye due to sjogrens. The rims of my eyelids are very itchy. You should start on some eye drops, they certainly can't hurt. I agree with the moist compress. Also, you can use a and d ointment, the clear yellowish kind on your eyelids, it won't hurt you. If it continues, see an eye doctor. It's not something to mess with.
