If you truly have allergic conjunctivitis, that is itchy, red, watery eyes, maybe slightly swollen, you can try Zaditor OTC drops. Avoid any of the "red eye" type drops as they will only mask your symptoms and contain really weak antihistamines. If the Zaditor doesn't clear up your symptoms almost immediately, you should see an optometrist or ophthalmologist because you may have another type of conjunctivitis.

Zaditor or Alaway - 1 drop each eye 2x/day. Do not use Visine drops of any kind. If the above don't work you may need to see your eye doc and get steroid eye drops.

If you are warding off the symptoms... as in itchy eye, redness... you can use ”Alcon Naphcon A”.

BUT.... BUT... BUT... if the yellowish oozing from the eye has started... get to the doctor as quick as you can drive the car there even if it means going to a minor emergency center. Don't mess around, and DON'T let it get to the other eye. Wash hands frequently and cover the eye with a cold compress (wash cloth with ice or bag of frozen peas works well).

I'd also give some sort of pain reliever.

I once had both eyes covered and had to go to a specialist ($$$) who used a cocktail of 15 different drops in my eye because I waited til the next day to get to the doctor. It quickly moved from one eye to the other. Both corneas were scratched and I was “down for the count” for days being blind with both eyes covered.

You HAVE to get to a doctor... to get a simple prescription drops that have an antibiotic in them.

Best wishes…

You can try colloidal silver drops and you can buy it in any vitamin store or whole foods and I would put them in at least 3 times daily. Let us know what ends up working for you.

I use Naphcon (sp?) A. Stings a bit but then it clears out the issues.
