Allergy eye drops…Eyes itch for a variety of reasons, but allergy sufferers know this too well. Pataday and Lastacaft are some of my go-to drops that are over the counter for treating seasonal allergies. Both are available as a once/day option to get you through allergy season when your oral medications arent getting the job done.

For the kids that may not like drops yet, many liquid oral medications will get you through the symptoms just fine. A cold compress can cool the itch the rest of the way.

We can discuss all of this and more at your next exam. I received some Pataday coupons in my office today if anyone is in need. Spring is almost here!
