Itchy, Swollen Eyes

For the past two weeks, goin on three, my eyes have been very itchy and swollen. The swolleness is especially bad when I wake up in the morning. I have been putting in eye drops(Optivar) and taking Allegra at night.It doesn't seem to be working. The swolleness goes down slightly during the day but the itchiness does not. Just a couple of days ago over the weekend, both the sweeling and itching went away. That Monday the itching started again in the late afternoon. The next morning they were swollen. I have stopped wearing make-up also. Please.. HELP! Thanks!

Try cool compresses and Zaditor which is available over the counter. If it continues see an Eye MD physician ophthalmologist.
