EYE ALLERGY SYMPTOMS
Millions of people worldwide suffer from allergy eyes, yet the condition is not often properly identified or treated. This condition is commonly overlooked because people are unaware of the various eye allergy symptoms.
It is important to identify and treat allergy eye symptoms, because:
- They can be very uncomfortable.
- They can lead to eye damage, due to excessive scratching or rubbing.
Thus, the failure to identify the eye condition, allergy eyes, could potentially have a permanent effect on your vision.
Eye Allergies – The Primary Symptoms
There are a number of eye allergy symptoms, some of which are more prevalent than others. The most common eye allergy symptoms can emerge alone, or in combination with others. They include:- Itching
- Redness
- Tearing of the eyes (i.e., watery eyes)
- Lid swelling
Eye Allergy Symptoms - Other Signals
Above and beyond the eye allergy symptoms mentioned above, there are other telltale signs that someone may be suffering from allergy eyes. These eye allergy symptoms include:- A scratchy feeling in the eye
- Redness of the eyelids
- Blurred, hazy, or unclear vision
- Swelling of the eyeball
- The sensation that something is in the eye
- Swelling or puffiness of the eyelids
- Increased sensitivity to light, also known as photophobia
Bear in mind that like the main eye allergy symptoms, the above warning signs may appear unaccompanied, or coupled with other indicators. Depending on the intensity of the eye allergy symptoms, you may want to consult your healthcare provider or eye specialist for treatment information.
