Pollen affecting the eyes?

[DEWRDW]

Is anyone having any problems with the pollen affecting their eyes? If so, what is the solutions - thanks.

I have that problem. Eyes water sometimes so much that it looks like I'm crying. Had some surgery (tear duct) but it didn't help all that much. I have learned to just live with it----there are worse things!

I have it all the time (not on rainy days)Only thing that helps is washing my face.

For the first time, over the past week or so, my eyes have been bothering me. The Original Visine seems to help a bit. I just checked and there is also a Visine-A for allergies.

For over a month my eyes would water all the time whether I was playing golf or not. They were itchy and felt like sandpaper in the morning. I went to the urgent care and they put me on antibiotic eyedrops for allergic conjunctivitis. I used them for 7 days. No my eyes don't water at all.

There is an over the counter eye drop for itchy eyes. It is called Alaway. Made by Bausch & Lomb. It works great

I am very allergic to the preservatives in many eye drops.

Through trial and error and with the help of my ophthalmologist, I now use Systane Ultra - individual doses of drops in small sealed, sterile tubes.
The individual ones are preservative free. (other brands are too, when packaged this way)

I keep mine in the fridge- they are extra soothing when cool. My doc said they can be used every 5 minutes you like…. very safe.

They are also good for flushing/rinsing if you get a speck of something caught in your eye.

I buy them at Walmart- lots of stores have them. Costs about $10 a box, but well worth it.
Good to use before sleep, too.

I use patanol, a prescription histamine inhibitor.
