Are eye drops the only solution for red, itchy eyes?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Artificial tears and washing the eyelids out with cool water can go a long way towards relief. Medicated drops are part of a comprehensive treatment regimen for ocular allergies.

No: Depends on the problem. If there's something anatomic that can be treated, or some irritant that can be removed/avoided, or some treatment like punctal plug for associated dry eye...
