How do you deal with eyes that are itchy due to pollen?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Drops / pills: Itchy eyes can be really annoying. The frontline treatments are artificial tears to help flush out allergens with antihistamine drops. Sometime we need to use antihistamine pills or steroid eyedrops to help break the allergic cycle.

Avoidance: Removal of environmental factors or triggers causing or exacerbating allergies. Good lid hygiene. Antihistamines or cold compresses for itching. Artificial tears. Short course of steroids in severe situations.
