We don’t get a lot of rain in California… until this year when there’s rain every week and sudden downpours every now and then. Not sure if the rainy days are trying to make up for the drought or trying to teach the spoiled Californians a lesson, but the increased amount of allergens in the air is definitely triggering some allergic reactions to my eyes, nose, and skin. I’ve been rubbing my eyes like there’s no tomorrow, and that had made my eyes swollen and created many wrinkles and loose skin around my eyes…

I went to the doctor to get some stronger antihistamine eye drops, but I could only use them twice a day. That’s not enough to soothe my itchy eyes. so I am resorting to generic eye drops.

Visine Red Eye Hydrating Comfort Redness Relief & Lubricant Eye Drops

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It works but I could only use it a limited amount of times

Dosage: 1 or 2 drops up to 4 times a day
Ease of Use: The eye drop comes right out of the bottom so I have to act quick to make sure it gets in.
Effectiveness: I can open my eyes right away (yes, I was squinting when I was using the antihistamine because it was a little drying) and it’s not irritating! It lasts a few hours before I feel dryness so that’s not too bad.

Biotrue Hydration Boost Eye Drops

It works but eyes are dry after 30 minutes…..
Dosage: 1 or 2 drops as needed
Ease of Use: It took some squeezing to the get the drops out, but it flows after when it comes. It’s a little hard to control…
Effectiveness: It’s soothing right away, but it feels like my eyes are dry again after typing this post…!? I guess I can use it as many times as I need though…

I will probably try some more after I use these up…
