Antihistamine Pills and Eye Drops. Antihistamine pills and liquids work by blocking histamine to relieve watery, itchy eyes. They include Allegra (fexofenadine), Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Claritin or Alavert (loratadine), and Zyrtec (cetirizine), among others.
If your goal is to treat dry eyes, you may want to avoid drops that promise to remove redness, such as Visine and Clear Eyes. In general, many causes of mild eye dryness can be treated with OTC eye drops, gels, and ointments. But as mentioned above, dry eyes can be the result of serious health problems.
