If it's just allergies and you're in the US, try this eyedrop: Pataday Extra Strength (generic olopatadine 0.7%). It is over the counter and you should be able to buy it pretty much anywhere (CVS, Walgreens, etc.) Use it once a day and you should see symptom relief in about two weeks, but you need to be consistent with it. See a eye doctor for an Rx if you want faster relief with steroid drops, although keep in mind that those need to be dosed more frequently, usually about 4x a day. Also, as with any eye drop aside from those specially formulated for it, take contact lenses out before using. Source: I'm a fourth year optometry student who has been browsing HN for years.
