EYE PROBLEMS

There are three main problems which occur around the eyes. Allergy reactions around the eyes are usually caused by cosmetics. The initial symptoms include redness, itching and some swelling of the eyelids and the surrounding tissues. Infections which involve the eyes cause redness, but there is usually also some grittiness and stickiness and the eyelids may be stuck together first thing in the morning. Wrinkles are the other common problem to affect the area around the eyes. Changes in the upper and lower eyelids occur relatively early on in the ageing process and an individual who has relatively few wrinkles elsewhere may have a quite a number around the eyes, simply because the skin there is exceptionally thin.
