Eye Allergy (Ocular Allergy): When Irritants Trigger Itching and Redness •Eye allergy, also known as ocular allergy, is a common condition where the eyes react to allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, or smoke.• This reaction causes inflammation of the conjunctiva, leading to discomfort and irritation.• It is more common in individuals with a history of allergies or sensitive eyes. •Symptoms may include intense itching, redness, watering, swelling of the eyelids, burning sensation, and sensitivity to light. In most cases, both eyes are affected. •Unlike infections, eye allergies are not contagious but can be persistent if triggers are not avoided. •Treatment includes avoiding allergens, using anti-allergy eye drops, cold compresses, and maintaining proper eye hygiene.• In moderate to severe cases, medications may be prescribed to control the allergic response. •At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide effective treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence. •Identifying triggers and taking preventive measures are key to maintaining eye comfort. #EyeAllergy #EyeCare #HealthyEyes #VisionCare 👁️
