Thanks Chris, had pink eye and my eyes are ok, it's the skin itself. Maybe a form of? I could see that as a possibility.

Tobra. Keratokonis is a warping of the cornea. Someday, if it progresses, I'll go blind in that eye at which time they'll laser a new cornea on. My eye has shown very slow progress of the disease, so it's not something I ever worry about.

Agree on salves/lotions around the eyes. I've been using a few I've had on hand and my eyes hurt. Very careful to apply only on the lids, but clearly it's soaking in and effecting them while sleeping.

All other body parts are OK, mouth, etc. Only my eyelids, which can crack on the horizontal fold. ouch! The flaking though is really gross.

Will research and try the flax seed oil, thanks. Also going to CVS today and getting some Aveeno hypoallergenic moisturizer. May only use in daytime hours when my eyes are open as well.

Diet is generally poor, but I just got a ton of fruits last night and am starting to eat healthier. got a little religion lately on taking care of my body, been taking it for granted way too long.
