Eye allergies, or allergic conjunctivitis, are a condition that typically affects the conjunctiva of the eye.
It is characterized by recurrent, bilateral eye inflammation caused by certain allergens—that is, substances that come into contact with the eye’s tissues and trigger a hypersensitivity reaction to those substances. Eye allergies can be seasonal (especially in the spring) or persistent (throughout the year).
An allergy is a self-defense reaction of a person’s immune system in response to the presence of an allergen.
Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
