Hey, ive been dealing with these things for 3yrs. My newest belief is that they are caused by excessive oxalates in the diet. I drank a protein shake for a year and a half that contained organic peanut or almond butter, chocolate, and whey protein with almond milk... Everything but the whey protein is loaded with oxalates. For me it is food allergy /intolerance and stress related. And when you detox the oxalates your eyes may get worse, go figure. I'm not gonna write a story about this so I'm just gonna use key words and look em up if you want. Gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sulphur?, high histamine foods, salicylate, phenol, and oxalate. Tests that could be helpful, hair mineral testing, Great Plains lab organic acid test(they test oxalates) I've never had surgery and mine do go away, but it can take months. Btw, my diet is gonna most likely be beef, chicken, white rice, and some low oxalate vegetables. Hope they disappear soon.
