allergy problems

[heatherb629]

I've had allergies for about 6-8 years now. My main problem is my eyes...they get really swollen and the skin above and under them gets really really dry. They also get really itchy, but i use allergy eye drops to help that. However, my eyes still continue to get swollen and dry. I am currently taking Allegra-D and Singulair for my allergies. My doctor had prescribed me to Pata-a-Day Eye Drops as well, but they became too expensive and weren't working very well, so i switch to an over the counter brand. My medicine is obviously not working very great either.
Does anyone know of an effective treatment that will help me with this?

Thanks.

Try Zaditor, its the best over the counter allergy eye drop in my opinion.

I also meant to add...I pretty much always have really dark circles around my eyes too. I don't know if that is related to this, but I'm guessing it is.
