I found a couple of different problems with the eye and psoriasis. This seems the closest.
"Ocular psoriasis can cause inflammation of the eye, dryness and discomfort. When psoriasis affects the eyelids, scales may cover lashes. The edges of the eyelids may become red and crusty. If inflamed for long periods, the rims of the lids may turn up or down. If the rim turns down, lashes can rub against the eyeball and cause irritation. In a prolonged ocular episode vision impairment may occur. Ocular symptoms may occur in approximately 10% of psoriasis patients."
You could do a search to find more information. I didn't know there was "ocular psoriasis" so learn something new each day.
I would be careful with any topical that is close to the eye. Hope you get it cleared up soon!
