Hi,
Most of the times in a day my eyes appear glassy(kind of mirrorish)
with a staring look. This makes my face look kinda devilish (sometimes
worse than that when the outer layer of my eyes starts reflecting
lights like a waxed surface)
Would be really of great help if someone could tell me what is causing
this and if this can be cured.
Many Thanks
T.

No I am not; not even supplements.

ok then maybe you need to post photos of your face both in and out of
this "condition" and we can get a better idea (if you can't do that, get
an eye exam while in that state) and maybe you'll get an answer

Thanks for your response. Sorry I was into something else so could not
respond.

I can provide the photo if required. But actually i can describe the
symptoms in more detail...

Actually many times in a day, a cloudy but completely transparent
glassy film covers my eyes with a great bit of brightness. Which makes
it look like mirrorish and gives a heavy staring look. I have stong
feeling that something triggers this like an allergy or some kind of
trigger.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

yes, photos would help, although you're not allowed to post them on
sci.med.vision.  If you can post them to a web site that can be linked,
that's permissable.  Otherwise, you can attatch them to a private e-mail
to me and I can post them on a site for you.

w.stacy, o.d.

I normally post these things to:

http://tinypic.com

It's free and very easy.  They will give you a link to post here.

Do your eyes itch or get "red" when this occurs? My hunch is that
you may be describing conjunctival chemosis ("swelling of the white-
part of your eye/conjunctiva) due to an allergic reaction. May want
to try some over the counter topical "allergy" eye drops such as
opcon-a/vasocon-a to see if this helps at all. An evaluation by an
eye provider would confirm the diagnosis in any event.

Hi Frank,

There is no itching or red coloration. But there is a kind of bulging
of iris portion. Could this be the condition that you have mentioned?.
I have no problem with the vision but I do get slightly
photo-sensitive.

Thanks.
