what to use for allergy eyes?

Do you scatch your eyes at all when they itch? A good eye drop is Patanol which is prescription only and you can get it through your doctor. It really relieves all the allergy out of your eye.

agree with Patanol. It is wonderful. My eye doctor said the best OTC one is Opcon-A.

Your eye does sound pretty bad. You should see a doctor to get a prescription. I use to have very bad eye allergies as a child and often used opticrom. Good luck!
