Eye Allergies
Eye allergies, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, present a variety of symptoms that can differ from person to person. The most common symptom is itching, but others include redness, dryness, watery eyes, and puffiness around the eyes.
Eye allergies can flare up at any time but are most common in the spring or fall when allergens are at their highest levels. For many people, symptoms last for 4-8 weeks, primarily during allergy season.
The simplest way to manage eye allergies is to avoid the allergens that trigger them, but we understand this isn't always possible. Fortunately, there are effective over-the-counter and prescription allergy eye drops that can help alleviate the itching and other symptoms associated with eye allergies.
