@itssalman your eye condition sounds extremely uncomfortable, to put it mildly. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We’re a group of patients or patients’ families or caregivers. We’re not doctors so we cant diagnose or prescribe medication. We try to help people with information and resources that we have learned about through our own difficult health journeys.
What does your doctor say about your eye problem? Did he suggest that you see a rheumatologist? They are more educated in autoimmune diseases, which it sounds like you may have. If it’s possible, you might try calling a large medical center near you or a university medical center and ask for help. When my disease first started, it all seemed to be gastrointestinal, but soon I couldn’t walk, spoke in a strange voice, and just wanted to sleep. An MRI eventually showed lesions on my brain, but i had to go to a university hospital for help. It’s a very unusual autoimmune disease that very few doctors know about.
Do you think you could call a medical center or university hospital? Let me know what you learn

Yes my latest doctor was a professor. She said I have Ocular dysaesthesia (Element of allergic conjunctivitis) and she now referred me to immunologist who's appointment I have next month. And yes as saucy said I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year and I took some prescription tablets at that time. My sister, a doctor herself, said hypothyroidism is nothing to worry about, besides it's definitely some allergy that you are suffering from and she keeps telling me to come back overseas. I'm settled in Australia bdw
