What do you suggest if my eye is all red and itchy from allergies, any tips to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ocular redness &: itching is usually indicative of seasonal allergies, blepharitis (eyelid margin infection) and variations thereof, eczema or infection. If from seasonal allergies alone, then start with over-the-counter topical ant-histamine drops. Cool compresses will help as well. If the OTC treatment is not effective then have it looked at by your eyecare provider for definitive diagnosis.
