Re: allergy eyes

ME! I put cold compresses on them and my doctor has prescribed steroid drops for when they are really bad. The steroids usually bring the puffiness and itching down within 24 hours. The drop I use is called Alrex. You might want to ask your MD about it.
The allergy eye drops Elistat and Pataday are really good too.

Yes!! I hate allergy eyes. I usually put a cold compress on for awhile and that helps. I'm on OTC allergy meds- the tylenol severe allergy is SO good and doesn't cause drowsiness.

Nope, they are both by prescription. Your primary doctor can probably give them to you. If not, you can always go always to go an eye doc or an allergist. Good luck ! Definitely get meds asap, they will help you so much.
