Allergic Conjunctivitis: When Allergies Affect Your Eyes •Allergic conjunctivitis is a common eye condition caused by a reaction to allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, or smoke, leading to inflammation of the conjunctiva.• It is more common in individuals with a history of allergies or seasonal sensitivities. •This condition is not contagious but can cause significant discomfort if not managed properly. •Symptoms may include intense itching, redness, watering, swelling of the eyelids, and a burning sensation in the eyes.• In some cases, patients may also experience sensitivity to light and frequent blinking. Unlike infectious conjunctivitis, it usually affects both eyes simultaneously.• Treatment includes avoiding known allergens, using anti-allergy eye drops, cold compresses, and maintaining good 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 and avoiding triggers plays a key role in managing allergic conjunctivitis.#AllergicConjunctivitis #EyeAllergy #EyeCare #HealthyEyes 👁️
