Eye Allergy Season

- Avoid rubbing your eyes as this intensifies the symptoms.
- One of the prime seasonal allergens that most disturbs eyes is pollen. Stay indoors when pollen counts are high, especially in the mid-morning and early evening.
- Wear sunglasses outside to protect your eyes, not only from UV rays, but also from allergens floating in the air.
- Check and clean your air conditioning filters.
- Use a humidifier or set out bowls of fresh water inside when using your air conditioning to help humidify the air and ensure that your eyes don’t dry out.
- Take a shower or bath to help maintain skin and eye moisture and improve your resistance to allergens.
- Allergy-proof your home:
- use dust-mite-proof covers on bedding and pillows
- clean surfaces with a damp implement rather than dusting or dry sweeping
- remove/ kill any mold in your home
- keep pets outdoors if you have pet allergies.
- Remove contact lenses as soon as any symptoms appear.
- Use artificial tears to keep eyes moist.
