Seasonal Eye Allergies

Itchy, red, watery eyes—especially in spring or fall?
You may be experiencing seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, a common reaction to pollen in the air.

Typical Signs

• Itching (most characteristic)
• Redness
• Tearing
• Mild swelling

Symptoms usually affect both eyes and tend to return around the same time each year.

Simple, Effective Relief

• Avoid rubbing (it worsens inflammation)
• Use cool compresses for comfort
• Apply preservative-free artificial tears to rinse allergens
• Start allergy eye drops early for best control

Contact Lens Wearers

Consider reducing wear time or switching to daily lenses during flare-ups for better comfort.

When to Be Evaluated

If symptoms are persistent, unclear, or affecting your vision, an exam ensures the right treatment—without guesswork.

A Better Approach

Allergy care works best when it’s calm, early, and consistent—not reactive.
