Antihistamine / Vasoconstrictor Eye Drops

  • Usually, the eyes will feel much better after the pollen is washed out and cold compresses are applied.
  • Rinsing the eyes with 2 drops of artificial tears also helps to wash out any allergens. Do this 3 times per day.
  • If they are still itchy or bloodshot, use antihistamine/vasoconstrictor eyedrops (no prescription needed). You can ask your pharmacist to recommend a brand.
  • Use 1 drop per eye every 8-12 hours as needed.
  • Avoid continuous use for more than 5 days. (Reason: prolonged use can cause redness)
