This is about Blepharitis, a very uncomfortable eye/eyelid condition of unkown origin. I was diagnosed with blepharities a couple of months after starting to take Singulair 10 mg. I have also experienced weight gain and severe depression. Also experienced extreme sensitivity to light, compulsive blinking (tic-like behavior) of the eyelids. The eye doc told me I might have to get bo-tox injections to stop my eyelids from blinking. Today it occurred to me to research here and other places whether the singulair could have caused the eye condition. I have seen enough here to make me decide to discontinue the Singulair for a few days. I have been taking it in the morning, and I have noticed that my symptoms have been minimal in the morning before taking the pill, and have been at their peak about three hours after taking the pill. Unfortunately, I have already taken the tablet today, so I'll have to wait till tomorrow to begin the experiment. This is the first time I have put all this together and realized there is a strong possibility of a conneciton.
