Eye drops: There are many different allergy eye drops to choose from. Many are prescription and you will need to consult your physician; however there are a few that can be found over the counter. My patients find relief with zaditor (ketotifen).

Eye symptoms: Allergy eye symptoms (allergic conjunctivitis) can be very distressing. Available over the counter medication that many people obtain relief from is ketotifen (alaway or zaditor). There are a number of prescription eye drops that are very helpful. An allergist or eye doctor can be a good source of information. If vision is affected, a person needs to see eye doctor right away.
