I have an eye allergy that causes my eyes to itch when pollen and other irritants get on my eye lid and in my eye. If I rub my eyes it often causes my eyes to swell, sometimes closing 50%. It is very annoying and embarrassing. These eye drops are very effective in both relieving the itch (thereby I don't rub my eyes) and somehow keeping the irritants from causing my eyes to swell.

It is the only one I have found to be effective for me.

short term relief only
Not useful for seriously itchy eyes and/or allergic conjunctivitis. You should see your eye doctor for these two conditions. I used this product for months and only got momentary relief.

You need this if you suffer from eye irritation due to allergies, but there's nothing special about this brand. Any eye drops with Pheniramine Maleate will do, and they all cost and work about the same.
Comments about Opcon-A Eye Allergy Relief 2 x 15ml, .5 fl oz:
After the out-of-pocket cost for my prescription eyedrops went from $15 to over $100 (!!!) I asked my eyedoctor for a less expensive way to deal with my itchy eyes that wouldn't damage my contact lenses. This product is great! Works quickly - I've used it both for redness/itchiness following petting dogs and cats, as well as morning general itchiness. Note - I never have my contacts on when I use the product. If I use in the morning, I wait a few minutes, then put the lenses in, and this product does not discolor or damage my soft contact lenses.
