advice

Eye allergy, or allergic conjunctivitis, is a condition that affects millions of people. It is a disease that can appear without associated symptoms, but often accompanies symptoms of nasal allergies, such as sneezing, sniffling, and stuffy nose. While most people treat the symptoms of nasal allergies, they often ignore their itching, redness and watery eyes.

If you have swollen eyes due to the allergy, several methods exist :

  • Place a compress soaked in cold water or a wet, cold tea bag over your closed eyes.
  • Place a small metal spoon in the refrigerator for a few minutes over your eyes.
  • Pass a cotton pad soaked in rose water over your closed eyes.
  • Put a clay poultice on your closed eyes.
  • In any case, drink lots of water.

Attention, the drug is not a product like the others. Read the package leaflet carefully before ordering. Keep medicines out of the reach of children. If symptoms persist, seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Beware of incompatibilities on your current products.

GLOSSARY (summary)


allergies
Skin reaction (itching, pimples, swelling) or general discomfort occurring after contact with a particular substance, use of a medication, or ingestion of food. The main forms of allergy are eczema, urticaria, asthma, angioedema and allergic shock (anaphylactic shock). Food allergy can also result in digestive disorders.


quaternary ammoniums
Family of antiseptics present in many medicines of local use. Generally well supported, they can however give rise to rare allergies.


antiseptic
A substance that locally destroys bacteria, reducing their numbers and preventing their proliferation. Some antiseptics are also active on microscopic fungi and viruses.


cul-de-sac conjunctival
A space formed when the lower eyelid is pulled down, which detaches from the eye and forms a cavity. The drops of eye drops and the ophthalmic ointments must be placed in it. The drug is distributed naturally throughout the eye. It will be eliminated, like the tears, by the lacrymal canal, which evacuates the tears towards the nose.


contact lenses
A flexible or rigid optical device placed on the cornea for correcting a defect in vision.
The lenses currently used are all made of plastic. There are two types:
  • Rigid lenses, more or less permeable to oxygen. Their small diameter (they do not cover the entire cornea) facilitates the oxygenation of the cornea: the oxygen contained in the tears can diffuse under and around the lens.
  • Soft lenses, more or less hydrophilic. They are easier to support at the beginning, but their large diameter and limited oxygen permeability do not facilitate oxygenation of the cornea. They can pose long-term tolerance problems.


Allergic reaction
Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.


symptoms
Trouble felt by a person with an illness. The same symptom can translate different diseases and the same disease does not necessarily give the same symptoms in all the patients.


symptomatic treatment
Treatment that suppresses or alleviates the symptoms of a disease without addressing its cause.
