Since covid 3yrs ago I have extremely dry eyes ,ears, nose throat, skin, hair and nails. The latest: eyelid lubrication oil tubes have dried and clogged up.
Opthamologist has me using microwaved gel eye mask2xday. Massage with fingertips. Eriththromyacin eyegel@ bedtime. 4wks now, I have red/purple swollen lumpy lids. Are others having eye issues?

Yes! It started with getting styes and a chalazion( which I still have for well over a year). Opthomologist said it was probably from wearing the masks. Well I found that odd that I wore a mask for an entire year and never had any issues until after I had Covid. Now my eyes are sticky in the morning and sore to the touch underneath. They always look red underneath and they hurt at times. The left one got all red the other day, but it cleared up. I still have white dots inside of my eyelid. I had Covid at the end of 2020 and the weird flare ups continue.
