Allergies

Eye allergies are a frequent issue caused by exposure to allergens such as dust, pollen, mold, or pet dander. When these substances come into contact with the eyes, they trigger allergic reactions, leading to symptoms like itching, redness, dryness, watering, and a gritty or scratchy sensation. These reactions often occur seasonally, especially during spring and fall when pollen levels are high, or in response to environmental changes. While eye allergies may seem mild, their impact can be significant, interfering with everyday activities such as reading, working on a computer, or even driving. They can also make it difficult to maintain comfort and clarity of vision, which is essential for overall quality of life. Treating eye allergies promptly can help reduce the severity of symptoms and improve daily functioning, so it’s important to address the issue before it becomes more disruptive.

Eye allergies are a common condition that can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, often triggered by allergens such as dust, pollen, or grass. People with eye allergies may experience grittiness in their eyes, feeling as if there is something foreign or rough in the eye. This sensation is frequently accompanied by persistent dryness, which can make the eyes feel sore and tired. In many cases, irritation intensifies when exposed to allergens, worsening the discomfort. Itching is another hallmark symptom, often leading to the impulse to rub the eyes for relief, but doing so can sometimes make the irritation worse. Along with these sensations, redness and swelling may occur, especially around the eyes, after direct contact with allergens. In some cases, the eyes may even become excessively watery as the body tries to flush out the irritants. Additionally, burning sensations may develop, further complicating the overall discomfort. These symptoms can make it difficult to carry out daily activities that require clear and comfortable vision, impacting overall quality of life.
