What is Eye Allergy?

Eye allergy is a condition in which our eyes abnormally react to allergens, which are several substances perceived harmful by the eyes.

When our eyes are exposed to allergens, cells present in them, known as mast cells, produce histamine, a substance produced to fight against these allergens. This results in reddening and swelling of eyelids, conjunctiva, which is a thin membrane covering the inside portion of our eyelids, and sclera, which is the white portion of eyes.

Eye allergies can be categorized into two types. Seasonal allergies occur only during certain periods of the year, usually in autumn and early spring, due to presence of allergens in the air like spores from weeds, trees, grasses, and mold. Perennial allergies can be caused in any season due to pet dander, dust mites, and other allergic substances.

If not treated on time, these allergies may even result in weakening of eyesight.
