Hi Everyone...I hopeing somone on this board can help me...for the past 6 months or so..I have been having the worst time with my eyes. I get this white sticky mucus film ball in the corners of both eyes...when I remove it..its long and stingly goes from the corner of my eye (near tear duct) to the other end.. I wear monthly disposal contacts. I'm taking Allegra and have 2 different prescription eye drops..Patanol and Alocril but still get this eye thing. Now my ears are also itchy and my head feels like a lot of pressure.Does this sound like it could be allergies..especially the eye thing, they are driving me nuts.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

I have the eye mucous too. It's just awful, isn't it? Have you mentioned it to your doctor? My opthalmologist didn't know just how bad it was until I was in his office and he actually pulled one out of my eye that was like 2 inches long! The white stringy eye mucous actually comes from having dry eyes or allergies, or both. Try using some tear drops along with your allergy drops. Also, it might be hard, but if your doctor says it is ok, stop taking the Allegra and any other anti-histamines or allergy pills for a few weeks, because those will definitely dry out your eyes even more. If necerssary, you could take something like chlortrimeton once in a while if you really need an anti-histamine. Also, you could try using something called nasalcrom, which will help get rid of some of your nasal allergies without using an anti-histamine. Believe it or not, allergy pills like claritin and allegra do not always help eye allergies. Have you been seen by an eye dr, or is it just your regular doctor that prescribes the allergy drops for you?
