Allergic conjunctivitis, 'eye allergy', makes the eyes red, itchy and watery. It often goes hand in hand with allergic rhinitis and shares the same triggers.
Symptoms
- Itchy, red eyes
- Watering or a burning feeling
- Puffy or swollen eyelids
- Sensitivity to light
Common Triggers
- Pollen, dust mites and mould
- Pet dander
- Smoke and air pollution
How We Diagnose & Treat It
Diagnosis is based on symptoms and, where useful, allergy testing to identify the trigger. Treatment focuses on avoiding triggers, anti-allergic eye drops and antihistamines, and, for persistent cases, treating the underlying allergy, sometimes with immunotherapy.
Constantly rubbing itchy eyes? Identifying the trigger can bring real, lasting comfort.
