Redness, Itching In Eye. Avoiding Eye Drops Due To Side Effects. Solution?

sir,i have been suffering from eye problem since last 7 years. I mainly have a problem of redness and itching. I have to use regular eye drops, initially some opthalmologist prescribed me steroids. I cant even watch television for long time, watching movie in theatre causes redness and irritation. I have been trying to avoid eye drops since last few days as there are loads of side effects. Please, help me..

Hi
Usually allergic conjunctivitis is a longterm disease and seasonal.
Please use Tacrolimus eye ointment,a non steroid, for good results.
I used in many patients with good results.
Wish you good health
