Reddish Itchy Burning Eye. Due To Pet Allergy?

What's the catch? I'm sure I can't just ask a question and get an immediate response.

My question is in regards to my eye. It's been bothering me all day. I feel like there's something in it but I can't find anything. I keep rubbing it and that only makes it worse. I have a cat that likes to sleep on my face/head sometimes and I think it's related to him and possibly allergies but I feel like every time I rub my eye, it almost feels like liquid jelly. Is that normal with allergies? Usually when this cat sleeps on my face/head I WILL wake up with what we like to call in my house "zombie eye". My eye gets violently red and itches and burns. I expect this from a cat but the jelly like consistency of my eye today concerns me.

BUT IF YOU DONT WANT TO ELMINATE CATS EXPOSURE YOU HAVE TO TAKE ANTIALLERGICS
LIKE CLERITIN 10 MG AT NIGHT DAILY FOR 3 WEEK
NEOSPORIN H EYE OINTMENT TO BE APPLIED OVER THE EYES AT NIGHT

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Allergy forms the foundation
Over which infection might have been super-added - viral or bacterial...

There are things one can see...There may be unseen problems too - like Toxoplasma affecting the inner eye.
A look by Ophthalmologist will be ideal..

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
