I just realized I forgot to answer your original question about allergy shots helping to relieve your eye symptoms. The answer to that is a qualified yes. I assume you're looking for immediate relief of your current symptoms, so in that case, no, allergy shots would not help. Not now, that is. The whole idea with allergy shots is that they expose you to tiny amounts of the things you are allergic to, in order to acclimate your body (or desensitize it) over time, usually a year or more. It's a slow and very gradual process.   In addition, you would need to know exactly what you are allergic to in order for the shots to be effective. But it might be worth considering getting an evaluation at an allergist for allergy shots, as a preventive measure for the future.   To your health, Kathi
