I have itching and dryness in both my eyes, and this happens during certain seasons. I have been prescribed Cromal Forte and Biflace. Is it okay to continue these medicines?

Asked by Male, 39 ยท 2 months ago

Seasonal itching and dryness in both eyes are often due to allergies, and medicines such as Cromal Forte and Biflace are commonly used to control these symptoms. It is generally safe to continue them if they were prescribed by your doctor and are giving relief. Avoid rubbing your eyes, protect them from dust, and use clean water to keep them comfortable. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is better to get your eyes checked again for further advice.

I am experiencing a gritty, sand-like sensation in my eyes without itching. I had an eye allergy one year ago and used Cromal Forte at that time. Recently, I used it again for 3 weeks, but the irritation returns after stopping. Since Cromal Forte is not available nearby, can I use FML Forte instead? I also have high myopia (-7.25) and work long hours on a computer (12+ hours daily). I am currently using lubricating drops (Refresh Tears). What is the best way to manage this condition?
A gritty, sand-like feeling in the eyes without much itching is most often due to dryness rather than active allergy, especially if you spend long hours on screens. While Cromal Forte helps prevent allergic reactions, your current symptoms sound more like dry eye, which can come and go and often returns when treatment is stopped. It is not a good idea to switch to FML Forte on your own, because it is a steroid and repeated use without supervision can lead to side effects like increased eye pressure or infection. The safest long-term approach is to continue lubricating drops regularly (preferably preservative-free), use them more frequently if needed, and make small changes like taking breaks from screens (every 20 minutes, look away for 20 seconds), blinking consciously, and keeping your eyes well hydrated. You can also use a humidifier or avoid direct air from fans or AC. If symptoms still persist, an eye specialist may suggest other options like thicker gels at night or treatment to improve tear quality. With consistent care, dry eye symptoms can be controlled effectively.
