   Want to help my brother (Allergies board)

6th October 2006
There are many prescription allergy eyedrops available, I don't know why his doctor would say there is nothing he can do. Patanol is the one I use, and it works great.

Opcon-A is one you can buy OTC to tide him over until he gets to the doctor.

Thanks for the reply, but maybe I phrased it wrong. He is on many different kinds of drops, but nothing stops the mass forming in his eyes at night. I asked him if Patanol was one and he said yes. He also laughed and said thats like giving a guy who just had his arm blown off an advil (thats my brother). Anyway, his case is very severe, and from what I can tell from searching the internet, there may very well be nothing to do about it. I do appreciate the response and will keep checking back if someone has the magic answer. Thanks.

hmmm Maybe try doing sinus rinses will help him. I know my eye "gunk" was a lot worse before I started doing them. The rinses plus the Patanol has helped me a lot. Plus the sinus rinses will help any nasal congestion.
