Dry Eye Problems

> I get soreness on the cheek under one eye when I apply pressure, the eye constantly feels like I have something in it, its sore and mild pain around the eye. sometimes get blotches in the eye but when I blink it usually goes. Inner eye feels sore, but when I look at my eye it looks fine no redness or anything. Doc wants to give me steroids to treat possible neuralgia pain but I wonder if the causes are Dry Eyes as the optician said my eyes are very dry and gave me drops but ive noticed no improvement and been taking the drops for 3 days. I have a day drops and a paste thing I put in my eye at night. Would dry eyes cause all my symptoms? Anyone have any similar experiences ?

It sounds like giant papillary conjunctivitis. Do you wear contacts?

No

I’m not aware of having bumps on the inside of my eyelid so can’t see it being this

You can’t feel the bumps it usually just feels a bit scratchy or like there is something in your eye.
it could be a corneal abrasion though. Have you had your eyes examined by an opthalmologist? Have you had your eyelids turned inside out and all that sort of thing?

I had an eye test and was told eyes are super dry hence the eye drops, but no turning of eyelids.
