Allergic Eye Disease in Ambala City

When your eyes are exposed to allergy-causing substances, a substance called histamine is released by your body. The blood vessels in the conjunctiva become swollen. The eyes can become red, itchy, and teary very quickly.

The pollens that cause symptoms vary from person to person and from area to area. Tiny, hard-to-see pollens that may cause allergic symptoms include grasses, ragweed and trees. These same pollens may also cause hay fever.

Your symptoms may be worse when there is more pollen in the air. Higher levels of pollen are more likely on hot, dry, windy days. On cool, damp, rainy days most pollen is washed to the ground.

Mold, animal dander, or dust mites may cause this problem also.

Allergies tend to run in families. It is hard to know exactly how many people have allergies. Many conditions are often lumped under the term “allergy” even when they might not truly be an allergy.

Is eye allergy harmful?
It is usually a temporary condition associated with seasonal allergies. You can get eye allergies from pet dander, dust, pollen, smoke, perfumes, or even foods. If you cannot avoid the cause, your allergies can be more severe. You can have significant burning and itching and even sensitivity to light.
Do eye allergies need glasses?
Wear glasses or sunglasses when outdoors to minimize the amount of pollen getting into your eyes. Try not to rub your eyes, which will irritate them and could make your condition worse.
What is the most common eye allergy?
Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) is by far the most common type of eye allergy. Patients experience symptoms in spring, summer or fall, depending on the type of plant pollens in the air.
Is allergic conjunctivitis curable?
Mild cases of allergic conjunctivitis often clear up when exposure to the allergen is reduced, without special medical treatment. In more serious or long-lasting cases, medication may be necessary to treat the condition.

How long do allergy eyes last?
Most eye allergies continue through the pollen season. They can last 4 to 8 weeks. Pollens cause seasonal eye allergies.
What eye drops for allergies?
Antihistamine/decongestant combination eyedrops reduce eye itching, watery eyes, and redness. Examples include: Antazoline phosphate/naphazoline HCL (Vasocon-A) Pheniramine maleate/naphazoline HCL (Opcon-A and Naphcon-A).
What is the root cause of eye allergy?
Allergies usually result from pet dander, pollen, and dust. On the other hand, eye infections typically result from fungi, bacteria, parasites, or viruses. That is why the symptoms of eye infections tend to be more severe and often include sensitivity to light, pain, and a thick discharge.
What allergy medicine is best?
Antihistamines, such as Claritin (loratadine), can provide quick relief and can help prevent symptoms if taken every day. Nasal steroids, such as Flonase (fluticasone propionate), are generally the most effective allergy medicines but can take up to 2 weeks to fully work.
Is eye wash good for allergies?
They can bring relief from air pollution and allergens, like pollen. You might also use them to get rid of small objects in your eye or to ease irritation from chlorinated water, like after you get out of a pool.
Can food cause eye allergies?
Swelling and redness of the eye can sometimes happen after eating foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG) or the preservative sodium metabisulfite. This reaction is sometimes mistaken for an allergy however it is not a true allergic reaction. Symptoms will be less severe than those seen in a true allergy.
Can eye allergy be cured?
Certain oral and nasal medications can help alleviate eye allergies, especially when other allergy symptoms are present. These medications include: antihistamines, such as loratadine (Claritin) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl) decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) or oxymetazoline (Afrin)

Causes of Allergic Eye Disease

You experience allergic conjunctivitis when your body tries to defend itself against a perceived threat. It does this in reaction to things that trigger the release of histamine.

Your body produces histamine to fight off foreign invaders.

Some substances that cause this reaction are:

  • household dust
  • pollen from trees and grass
  • mold spores
  • animal dander
  • chemical scents such as household detergents or perfume

Some people may also experience allergic conjunctivitis in reaction to certain medications or substances dropped into the eyes, such as contact lens solution or medicated eye drops.

Myopia Patients

Kids Cataract Surgeries

Amblyopia (Allergic Eye Disease) causes blurry vision in one eye when something affects how a child’s eyes are developing. As their brain ignores the weaker eye, that eye drifts out of position. Amblyopia is the most common vision issue that affects kids. It’s rare, but amblyopia can affect both eyes at the same time.

What does amblyopia look like?

You might not be able to see anything physically different in your child’s eyes if they have amblyopia. Their affected eye may not line up with the stronger eye — it might look off-center or like it’s drifting in a direction that doesn’t match where they’re looking.
