I love cats but I am allergic. Getting cat stuff, like petting a cat then touching my eye, makes my eye itch insanely, and the white of my eye swells up like gelatin. Rinsing my eye seriously in the shower is a cure, but it is still scary. My sister has the same allergy.

Well then, don't touch your eye!

I had that problem as well and had to make sure I kept my hands away from my eyes after petting our kittehs. I guess after being around them for so many years now I am no longer reactive to their dander and fur. I also take Singulair for allergies, so I'm sure that helps, too. I can't even imagine my life without cats! Itchy eyes or no itchy eyes.
