Understanding seasonal allergies

Many associate seasonal allergies with spring alone, but autumn can pack a punch, too. Autumn allergies, often triggered by ragweed pollen, mold spores, and dust mites, can wreak havoc on your eyes. The common symptoms include:

  • Itching
  • Irritation
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Excessive watering

By following these eye health tips, you could find some relief and take in the changing colours of autumn without needing to reach for the tissue box. If you need more help managing your symptoms, schedule an appointment with your Eye Care Professional to discuss your allergies and explore contact lens options.
