You just described my condition since childhood. Am using one eye now, the other one i have just removed the white coating and its very irritated, cant keep it open
I have gotten this the past 2 months. Only in one eye. As an almost daily contact lense wearer, my assumption was it was a problem with my lenses but again, only happens to one eye. The relief I feel when I get the “onion skin” out!
I feel like I desperately need to get my contact out but once I do it feels gritty and horrible so Its a catch 22.
Not terribly unconvinced its not conjunctivitis but Ive had conjunctivitis as a child that was totally different and I cannot believe its the same thing. Either once doctor was wrong!

I've been experiencing peeling of my upper eyelids for 8 years now and the doctors always say conjunctivitis. It is horrible and my eyes are getting saggy from wiping and pulling at them to remove the "skin" or whatever it is!

Hi, guest.
There are a few options you could consider. First, you could try using an over-the-counter ophthalmic ointment such as the one by Refresh (Optive Sensitive). This ointment is specifically designed to soothe and hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes. It also contains a mild steroid to help reduce inflammation and irritation.
You can also try using natural treatments such as aloe vera or coconut oil to help soothe and hydrate the skin. Finally, you could consider seeing a dermatologist for a prescription-strength ointment or cream to help reduce the symptoms of your eyelid peeling.
Have you tried anything from this?
