Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent red and itchy eyes. Since you are also having hay fever this indicates allergic conjunctivitis.
The treatment of the condition is by use of anti allergic eye drops like olopatadine eye drops.
Severe, non responding cases are treated by steroids.
Hence I advice your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
