It's about 4 monthes already that I have eye allergy.
I'm trying to use antihistmanic drops but they do not help.
Started allergy shots and I hope they'll help abit.

Anyone has any idea what can I do?
Please tell me how do you treat your allergic conjunctivitis and if you get relief by pills/shots/drops/avoiding allergan etc...

I answered your other post, but the eyedrop that has worked best for me is Patanol. It is a mast cell inhibitor. Mast cells are what release the histimine, so it works better than an antihistimine because it stops the reactio before it starts. Antihistimines just mop up all the histimine in your system.

When whatever pollen you are allergic too is really high in the air, using a simple eyewash kit to wash your eye out in the evening helps a lot too.
