I am taking allergy shots, which are helping a lot for the runny nose, cough etc for my allergies. I was tested and allergic to 22 of the 44 things in the tests. My problem is after I am outside for about 2 hours, my eyes start itching, running, and they feel like they have gravel in them. By the time I get home from work (outside or in car 8 hrs a day) I have rubbed my eyes raw. My opthamologist perscribed Optivar to help. It helps somewhat, but not enough. This morning I still have a pain level of 4 in my left eye. Is there something which might be better? Or what else can I do? I love Spring, but my eyes don't!
