Allergic Conjunctivi***

Hi and welcome to Healingwell :) I'm so sorry you are going thru this. I've had numerous eye infections in the past as well as allergy eyes so I know how aggravating it can be. So the eye doc was 100% sure it wasn't infection or eye inflammation? Have you ever tried oral allergy meds? I found that for me when I use allergy eye drops that it actually makes my eyes worse and it causes me to have blurry vision. Could you have dry eye in conjunction with allergy eyes? This is what I have and it's not easy. I use otc dry eye drops and it seems to help along with an oral allergy med (Allegra).

Edit - Have you had your tear ducts checked to be sure they're not blocked?

Yes, I have checked and my ear ducts are not clogged but I do have dry eye and both my Opthomologist and allergist say that it is due to the dischare from the allergy eyes. It is frustrating because I want to believe perhaps it is somehting else because nothing seems to work but both Dr.'s believe whole heartedly that it is due to allergies. My Opthomolgist put me on systane to help with the dry eye but it only helps soothe, not the redness or discharge.

I am on Xyztal and have been on oral allergy medications seemingly all my life. I have severe allergies in reaction to environmental allergies and a lot of food allergies. I am also getting weekly allergy shots for my environmental allergies.

Also, a problem that may or may not result from the eyes allergies is eczema. I have eczema around my eyes and on my outer lids, as well as a few places on my face and cheeks.

And thanks for the tips, I have been using cold wash rags but using bags seems like a better and sterile idea, I think I will try that. thanks!
