Common Eye Disease
No matter how much care you take of your eyes, you will from time to time encounter some kind of eye problems. While some of these problems cause very little harm to the eyes, some may lead to permanent blindness. It is always advisable to consult the doctor.
Eye Allergy
Allergies are your body’s natural response to certain medications or substances. Eye Allergies are extremely common and affect many people.
What Causes Allergies?
When your body comes into contact with an allergen or certain medications, your immune system naturally reacts, producing a chemical called histamine. Histamine binds to tissues within the eyes which manifest as the symptoms of allergies.
They may occur during particular seasons of the year, or year round, depending on what you’re allergic to.
Common allergens affecting the eyes include, but are not limited to, pollen, ragweed, grass, mold, weeds, dust, and pet dander.
Symptoms of Allergies
The most common symptoms of allergies include:
- Redness
- Excess tearing
- Eye Itching
- Sneezing
- Sinus activity, such as itchy, stuffy nose
Treatment for Eye Allergies
The best way to relieve allergy symptoms starts with avoiding allergens. For example, if you commonly experience allergic reactions during the springtime, you probably are reacting to pollen in the air, and should try to stay indoors as much as possible. Similarly, if you get allergies every time you’re in a house with pet hair, you’d be wise to avoid animals as best you can.
There are numerous non-prescription products that work to fight the symptoms of allergies including cold compresses or topical treatments.
However, the best option for you is to get diagnostic test for eye allergy which will identify and determine the root cause of your eye allergies or irritations . Thereafter your doctor will recommend the treatment regiment that is most suitable for you.
