Red eyes: If an infection has been ruled out because of your red eyes see an allergist and get tested to find out what you are allergic to.Once tested you will be able to institute environmental control to help your condition

Eye allergies: Try zaditor (ketotifen fumerate), an opthalmologic antihistamine OTC. A bit pricey, but effective for allergic conjunctivitis. Otherwise, a doctor can prescribe pataday or other prescription antihistamines if zaditor if ineffective. Not all antihistamines work well for everyone, unfortunately.

Anithistamine: Have you tried any antihistamine allergy meds, such as Claritin, (loratadine) allegra or Zyrtec? these are usually the first choice for allergy symptoms, and are generally very safe.
