How to Effectively Manage and Treat Eye Allergies
What is allergic conjunctivitis?
It happens when the eyes react to allergens by releasing histamine, which causes itching, redness and swelling. It often affects both eyes and may flare up with the seasons.
When to seek medical advice
See a pharmacist if symptoms are persistent or affecting daily life. Contact a GP urgently if there is pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision or thick discharge, which may suggest infection.
Available treatments
Antihistamine eye drops such as sodium cromoglicate, olopatadine or ketotifen reduce itching and redness. Oral antihistamines help if other allergy symptoms are present. Cold compresses can ease swelling.
What to expect
Most drops start to work within minutes and reach full effect after a few days of regular use. Seasonal symptoms may need treatment throughout pollen season.
Self-care
Avoid rubbing the eyes, rinse with cool water, wear wraparound sunglasses outdoors, keep windows closed during high pollen counts and shower after coming inside.
