for those of you with kiddo's whose eyes are effected by seasonal allergies (red, crusty) does it ever just effect one eye? only one eye is red, itchy and crusty, do you think this could be allergies? hoping its not pink eye.

My DS gets allergy eyes and one eye is definitely worse than the other. I am SO tired of people thinking it's pinkeye!
In our case the crusty eyes glued shut in the morning has been pink eye, and it always started in one eye before showing in the other. Allergy eyes were both red, itchy and watery, but not crusty.
It does get red in the corners, where the goopy stuff collects, but the entire white is not pink or red. He has never had pinkeye so I don't know how to compare it to that. His eyes have been really bad for the last few days.
Good luck! I'm not sure which is better - pinkeye or allergies - but I hope your DC is better soon!
According to the advice nurse at my doctor's office when I had an allergic reaction...
Allergies are (generally) both eyes and "teary" or watery, but not "glue crusty".
Infectious pink eye can be one eye or both, and is more likely to "boogery" or "crusty".
