I have been living in Arizona for a little over two years. I have never had allergies or eye problems. However, around January of this year, I started to notice puffiness under my eyes that gradually got worse. I saw an allergist and they said that I had a slight reaction to the Pala Verde tree (which is in full bloom). I have had a few days were the puffness was gone and the burning was gone, however it started back up again. The allergist said that the he is not sure that the puffiness has to do with allergies due to my low reaction. I have also been diagnosed with sever dry eyes. During the period that my puffyness went down, the dry eyes seem great as well. I am currently taking Patanol eye drops. Does anyone have a suggestion?????? I am fed up!!

I have the same problem but it appears that my puffiness has stayed permanent. :( As for your dry eyes, if they get dry around the lid and lash area taking vit. E helps alot. Not sure if it would actually help the eyeball itself stay moist but it does help the surrounding skin.

What do you mean that your puffyness is permanent? Did it start from allergies?
