I cant recommend anything since i am not a OD, all i can do is relate what i have found that works, i use restasis to help with dry eye, 2gm/day vitamin E, and benedryl and citirizine for allergies. the allergy meds show the best improvements although the restasis and vit E could be helping too. it sucks taking allergy meds to wear contacts, but that's what helps, now i have a much better appreciation for what allergy sufferers go through, either take meds and be drowsy or feel like crap, or tolerate the allergy symptoms, 6 of one, half dozen of the other, i suppose.
