Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
We have to ensure which medication you are allergic to.To find out method is to use one medicineat a time for about a week.Stop the offending drop and replace it with with a third drop like Brimonidine eye drop.
Allergy with Lumigan is seen by us so I will put that as a likely culprit.I n the meanwhile you can start anti allergic tablet to control allergic symptoms till a final decision is taken about medication.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
