Hi there! Thank you so much for the discussion here. I would also like to get any tips or recommendation on some good and trusted prescription allergy medicine. What do you think about that? I would appreciate any input on this case, thanks a lot for it and good luck!

Eye allergies are no different than allergies that affect your sinuses, nose or lungs. When an allergen comes in contact with your eyes, your body releases histamine – a chemical produced in reaction to a substance that the immune system can’t tolerate. Special cells called mast cells make histamine. These cells are present throughout the body but are highly concentrated in the eyes. Location of allergy symptoms depends somewhat on where the allergen has come into contact with your body. Ocular allergens tend to be airborne (as are most other allergens).
