Allergic Conjunctivitis: Relief for Red, Itchy Eyes

What is Allergic Conjunctivitis?

Allergic conjunctivitis is an eye condition that occurs when allergens cause irritation and inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye. Unlike viral or bacterial conjunctivitis, this type is triggered by environmental allergens rather than infections.

Common Symptoms of Allergic Conjunctivitis

Allergic conjunctivitis can cause discomfort and interfere with daily activities. Symptoms may include:

• Red, bloodshot eyes
• Itchy or burning sensation
• Watery or teary eyes
• Swollen eyelids
• Light sensitivity
• Stringy mucus discharge

What Causes Allergic Conjunctivitis?

This condition is caused by the body’s immune response to allergens, including:

• Pollen (seasonal allergic conjunctivitis)
• Pet dander
• Dust mites
• Mold spores
• Smoke or air pollution
• Perfumes and chemical irritants
• Contact lens solutions or eye drops
