Eye allergies (Allergic Conjunctivitis) are a common issue and can cause trouble for many individuals.

These allergies can commonly cause allergic inflammation in both the eyelids and the thin membranes that cover the eyes.

Eye allergies can vary in severity, ranging from mild forms related to hay fever to more chronic eye conditions.

Prevalence of eye allergy<\/h2>\n\n\n

Allergic Conjunctivitis (eye allergy) is quite common in the United States and affects about<\/a> 40% of people in North America. 

The number of people with eye allergies is increasing<\/a> over time.

A study published by The National Library of Medicine examined how<\/a> common ocular allergies are among people visiting doctors in the UK.

They found that about 8% of patients had eye allergies, which caused symptoms like itchy eyes and a runny nose.

Most people used over-the-counter medicines to treat their symptoms, and only a small number consulted an eye doctor. 

The study suggests that there is a need for specialized eye allergy services to manage these allergies better.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is eye allergy<\/h2>\n\n\n

Eye allergies, also called allergic conjunctivitis, can occur when the eyes react to something that irritates them, known as an allergen.

The body releases a substance called<\/a> histamine to fight off the allergen.

These allergens result in red, swollen, and itchy eyelids and conjunctiva (the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye).

Allergic Conjunctivitis is usually not harmful<\/a> to vision but can greatly impact a person’s quality of life.

Eye allergies can also cause tearing and a burning sensation in the eyes.

If you have hay fever or other types<\/a> of allergies, you may feel a burning sensation when they come into contact with mold, pollen, or other allergens.

It’s important to note that, unlike other types of conjunctivitis, eye allergies are not contagious and cannot spread from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\n
