Eye Allergies
Eye allergies, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, are common reactions to irritants (allergens) that make the eyes produce histamine. This response leads to red, swollen, and itchy eyelids and conjunctiva. The eyes may tear and burn. Unlike other types of conjunctivitis, eye allergies don’t spread between people.
Those with eye allergies often experience nasal symptoms like an itchy, stuffy nose and sneezing. Typically linked to seasonal allergies, it’s a temporary condition. Allergens can include pet dander, dust, pollen, smoke, perfumes, or certain foods. If you can’t avoid the cause, the allergies may become more severe, causing significant burning, itching, and sensitivity to light.
