Eye Allergies
Allergies affect more than just your nose, they can cause eye discomfort, too. Watery, red, and itchy eyes are all common signs of a reaction. There are two types of eye allergies: Seasonal and perennial. Learn about what causes them, common eye allergy symptoms, and how you can help protect yourself.
Seasonal and Perennial Allergic Conjunctivitis
It’s no coincidence that allergies flare up in the late spring and early fall. This reaction is called seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, or hay fever. It is typically brought on when grasses, weeds, and trees release pollen into the air. Allergies can also be triggered by exposure to mold spores.
Similarly, perennial allergic conjunctivitis is also caused by pollen in the environment, except these allergens may be present year-round. Common triggers for perennial allergies are animal dander, dust mites, and mold.
