In general, this sounds like you have 5 directions to investigate:
1. Bacterial infection. Ask a doctor for antibiotic eye drops.
2. Viral infection. Ask a doctor for antiviral drugs. Alternatively, see if it gets better or worse if you boost or weaken her immune system.
3. Yeast infection. Ask a doctor for the appropriate cream.
4. Allergy. Does Cortison make it weaker? Air purifier with hepa filter. $500 and helps against a lot of things, including some bad smells.
5. Autoimmune reaction. Ask a nearby university if they are willing to run a microarray test to see which genes are active in the eye fluid. It tends to cost $10 + 10 minutes of work if you order that for research purposes.
Edit : can't find the paper, but i remember that covid increases your risks of eye fungi. Something about black mushrooms in India
Thank you for your reply, it does fit with allergens as you say (reduced immune system helped so we dont think viral or bacterial). I'll take a look at the auto immune tests - we do have a good university nearby so may be in luck :)
As for the fungal issues with Covid, I recall that was because people took massive doses of steroids depressing their immune systems, so I don't think that's the cause here.

How long can the 1-2-3 infections in your list persist?
Shouldn’t viral infections get eliminated by the body eventually?
My ex wife had herpes on her eyelids.
