Yes: There are several antihistamine containing eye-drops both prescription or over the counter. Ask your pharmacist to point them out to you. I use them regularly an over the counter eye-drop and an oral medication, i prefer zyrtec (cetirizine) but others work well.

Antihistamine: For allergic eyes first remove allergens if possible. Cool compresses help and anti-allergye eye drops. Several otc eye drops (over the counter - in pharmacies without a prescription) are available containing ketotifen including zatidor and zyrtec (cetirizine) eye drops. Prescription eye drops may help if the above are not effective - talk to your doctor or see an allergist.
