Red, itchy eyes, especially at the end of the day. i use zyrtec (cetirizine) and eye drops daily, even prescription drops didn't help. ointment made them redder! ideas?

Sounds like Dry eye: Try using artificial tears especially before the irritation starts. Avoid smoke, wind on eyes, take breaks while reading or using the computer. If no improvement in several days i would recommend that you see your eye doctor.
