Other medicines used to treat eye allergies include these prescription eye drops: ketotifen; antihistamine drops; mast cell stabilizer drops such as cromolyn , nedocromil and lodoxamide; dual-action drops such as Patanol; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drops such as Ketorolac; and steroid eye drops such as loteprednol and dexamethasone. Your doctor can tell you which type might be most helpful for you.  

 

Each person is different, and it might take some trial and error to come up with the best treatment for you. Allergy shots are also very helpful in treating eye allergies in many people.
