See a great show and support a vet! w h a t t o K n o w a B o u t e y e a L L e R g i e s By Jaime Blyskal Marcolini, OD Eye allergies — red, itchy, watery eyes that are bothered by the same irritants that cause sneezing and a runny nose among seasonal allergy sufferers are very common. Normally harmless substances that cause problems for individuals who are predisposed to allergic reactions are called allergens. The most common airborne allergens that cause eye allergies are pollen, mold, dust and pet dander. To get relief from your eye allergies and itchy, watery eyes, you can take a few approaches: Avoiding allergens. The best approach to controlling your eye allergy symptoms is to limit your exposure to common allergens you are sensitive to. Close windows in the Spring or when the grass is being mowed to avoid exposure. Wash out eyes with an over the counter eyewash or use lubricating drops after working outside. Wash your pillowcases frequently! Removing your contacts. Contact lens can attract and accumulate airborne allergens; consider wearing only eyeglasses during allergy season. Or, consider switching to daily contact lenses that you discard after a single use to avoid the buildup of allergens. Over-the counter eye drops. There are a number of brands of non- prescription eye drops available that are formulated to relieve itchiness, redness and watery eyes caused by allergies. Avoid eye drops that state they will remove redness. Prescription medications. If your allergy symptoms are relatively severe or over-the-counter eye drops are ineffective at providing relief, you may need your eye doctor to prescribe a stronger medication. Cold Compresses. This is one of the simplest things you can do to make the eyes feel better.
