I've been taking ortho tri lo for 7 mnths.have been having terrible allergies around eye area only, for at least 3-4 weeks.dry, itchy, red.side effect?

Doubt: It is possibly a side effect from the medication. Sounds as if you have allergic reaction or plain old dry eyes (which could be a side effect of this medication). Try preservative free moisture tears four times a day. Look for creams, lotions, soaps, ECT that could be causing this. Eliminate one at a time each week, you may find a culprit. It may just be environmental.
