Seasonal eye allergies can turn life into a bleary-eyed blur—especially in spring and fall when allergens are at their worst. 50 million of us suffer from allergies, and we know a lovely walk in the park can bring on itchy, watery eyes. Here's some simple solutions to ease your symptoms and seeing clearly, year round.
Allergies happen when the eyes react to allergens—like grass, pollen and mold— that irritate them. To fight off allergens, the eyes produce something called histamine. The result is that the eyelids and the thin membrane inside them become red, swollen, and itchy.
5 TIPS TO KEEP EYE ALLERGIES UNDER CONTROL
• Save outdoor fun for the day after a rain shower; it reduces pollen in the air.
• Stay inside on windy and peak pollen/pollutant days throughout the season.
• Wear wraparound sunglasses to shield your eyes from airborne allergens.
• Talk to your doctor about safe eye drops to soothe irritation.
• Don’t rub your eyes.
If you wear contacts, eye allergies can be even more bothersome. Allergens can build up on your contact lenses, causing discomfort.
• Try daily disposables. Changing your contacts every day won’t give allergens
time to build up.
• Never share contacts. It’s an instant germ spreader.
• Give your eyes a break from contacts. Switch between contacts and glasses.
Seasonal eye allergies are uncomfortable and distracting. Get ahead of them with these tips and by scheduling a visit to an Independent Doctor of Optometry* next door to LensCrafters to discuss the best options for your eyes.
