These are only your EYES, Sir. You should ask this question of the Eye Doctor who is taking care of this part of your health. Antihistamines tend to dry secretions, and Dr. Google reports "dry eyes" or "eye dryness" as side effects of both of these medications. Please follow up with your Eye Doctor in order to find a safe solution (no pun intended) for your symptoms.
