Protecting Eyes from Seasonal Allergies: A Complete Guide

Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal eye allergies, or allergic conjunctivitis, are common in India due to dust, pollen, pollution, and weather changes. Symptoms include red, itchy, watery eyes, often accompanied by sneezing or nasal allergies. While not contagious, they can be very uncomfortable. Types include seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC), perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC), vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), and atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC). Protecting eyes involves avoiding triggers, wearing sunglasses, maintaining hygiene, using preservative-free lubricating drops, and following doctor-prescribed medications if necessary. Diet, hydration, and lifestyle adjustments can also reduce irritation. Parents should be particularly cautious with children, as VKC can affect vision if ignored. Differentiating allergies from viral eye infections ensures correct treatment. Simple measures like cold compresses and regular cleaning can prevent flare-ups, while severe cases need specialist care. Awareness, prevention, and timely action are key to keeping eyes healthy throughout seasonal changes.
