Allergies and Our Eyes
If your eyes are red, itchy, tearing, watery, burning, swollen then these all are eye allergy symptoms.
Many people don't care about their red, itchy, watery eyes because they think these redness and itching in eyes are normal, usual and expected. But it's not normal. These normal redness can cause a great allergic reaction in your eyes.
Understanding eye allergies
Eye allergies are also known as "allergic conjunctivitis."
These allergic reactions might be due to followings:-
- Pollen from grasses, weeds, and trees:- These are the most common kinds of eye allergies and are called seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
- Dust, pet dander, and other indoor allergens like fabrics, house plants :- These eye allergies last year-round and are called chronic (perennial) conjunctivitis.
- Makeup, perfume, or other chemicals:- can trigger eye allergies called contact conjunctivitis.
- An allergy to contact lenses:- can cause bumps on the inside of your eyelid, making your eyes sensitive and red both with and without wearing your contact lenses called Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC).
