Wow, I'm surprised there are so many people with this same annoying problem! I had a flare up last year of dry, scaly, red, and swollen eyes, and it's come back in the last couple of weeks. The inside area of my eyes next to my nose also gets swollen sometimes so I don't even look like myself. At first I thought it was because I was wearing my disposable contacts too long and they were likely filled with bacteria...I started wearing my glasses more often but that didn't seem to make a difference. Last year when this happened I started mixing Kuki Nut/Coconut oil with my moisturizer and it seemed to help and didn't come back for a year. This time around I'm using the warm wash cloth with scent free cleanser to soften the skin, and then follow it immediately with Jamieson 100% pure vitamin E oil over the lids and undereyes....put on before bed and it does seem to help. I wear it all the time around the house as well (it's fairly thick so don't want to wear it out of the house), but when I do go out or to work, I mix Jamieson Vitamin E cream with a little Bio-Oil and smooth all over (including eyelids), and it gets me through the day. I wish I could figure out what the cause is though.
