Eyelash and eyelids itch after wearing old glasses.

Father wore a very old glass kept in the cupboard1.5 years ago. And after that he started getting itching in corner of eyes and very specifically around eyelash ends, the eyelids corner which has the eye lashes. Both eyes.

Doctor gave= cafta eye drop (Alcaftadine (2.5mg/ml)

Toba -Dm eye drops (Dexamethasone (0.1%)+ Tobramycin (0.3%)

And polinase eye ointment (CHLORAMPHENICOL-10MG+DEXAMETHASONE-1MG+POLYMYXIN B-10000IU)

Issue got fixed for 8 month, no itching. But then it started appearing slowly again. Doctor recommended those meds again but it didn't go away again fully and came back but with lower intensity.

Same medicine was bought again over the counter and after using few days it was stopped as Ai told that prolonged use of steroid based medicine isn't good.

The intensity is very less now but we are confused what to do as it still exists with some itching on eye corners too along with eyelash ends.

No flakes, no over watery eyes, no redness ever, no swollen.

Please help, there is hard to find good doctors in our Village. Also let us know if non steroid alternatives exist
