What type of eye drops is best for itchy eyes?

Itchy eyes: I usually have patients start with a preservative free artificial tear, such as theratears. Keep them cold, and they will be more soothing. If the tears don't help, then try zaditor over-the counter twice a day for a few weeks. If this does not work, ask your ophthalmologist for Pataday or lastacaft, (alcaftadine) both once-a-day potent drops for ocular allergies.

There are many: The best are antihistamine and mast cell inhibitors. Avoid vasoconstrictors like visine that gets the red out as they can make matters worse if used too frequently.

Cool compresses: Cooler temperatures helps relieve itching. Avoid warm compresses. These will bring more histamine to the itchy area and increase the problem.
