Eye Allergies

As the warmth of spring and summer arrives, accompanied by green trees and blossoming flowers, many people eagerly embrace the beauty of nature. However, for allergy sufferers, these natural wonders can bring discomfort, particularly when it comes to their eyes. Tree pollen, grass pollen, weed pollen, and other allergens can trigger months of misery, leaving individuals with itchy, irritated eyes. Medically known as allergic conjunctivitis, eye allergies can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Sudbury Eye Care understands the challenges associated with allergies and offers effective solutions to alleviate symptoms and provide relief.

Identifying Eye Allergy Symptoms

Eye allergies manifest in various ways, with common symptoms including:

1. Red Eyes: Allergic conjunctivitis can cause the eyes to appear red and bloodshot.
2. Itchy Eyes: One of the hallmark symptoms of eye allergies is persistent itching, which can be quite bothersome.
3. Puffy or Swollen Eyes: Allergens can trigger an inflammatory response in the eyes, leading to swelling and puffiness.
4. Crusty Eyes or Eyelashes (Especially After Waking Up): Eye allergies can cause the formation of crusts on the eyelids and lashes, particularly noticeable upon waking up.
5. Swollen Eyelids: The inflammation caused by eye allergies can result in swollen eyelids.
6. Excessive Tearing: Allergic conjunctivitis often leads to excessive tearing or watery eyes.
