I would suggest scheduling a visit with either an opthalmologist or optometrist. Besides the Dupixent, there could be other issues leading to eye problems. I see an optometrist who is also a dry eye specialist. It might be better to obtain an eye consultation sooner rather than later.

Hi Corrine ~ When I was on dupixent, it also gave me a lite case of conjunctivitis. I was lucky that it did not go to a bad case of it, but I did have tiredness around eyeball, and at times some itchy stuff. If yours progresses or doesn't get better, please do seek out an eye Dr to ensure something bad is not happening there for you.
