eye itch and running nose with sneezing

I have a problem in my eyes for quite sometime now. Every other day there
is an irresistable itch in the corner of my eye (Closest to the nose). Its
gets supper itchy and i cant help but press the corners of my eye. This
leads to an instant cold- watery nose, sneezing and eyes become very
uncomfortable. This problem is driving me crazy as it is happening almost
everyday.

I consulted a doctor and he said that this is a dust/smoke allergy. He
gave a course of 7 days-eye drops- Cromal. It did give me relief, but
after a few days the problem has again started.

Need your help. Is there a permanent resolution to this problem? if yes
pls suggest what i can do. If not pls let me know if there are any light
eye drops which i can use regularly whenever i get the itch. Is this
seriuous, should i consult an eye doctor or an ent doctor

1. See an ophthalmologist Eye MD physician to discuss.
2. Ask to try a non steroidal anti itch drop like Zaditor, Patanol, Pataday, Optivar, etc
