What are Allergy Eyes?

By Dorothy Medlum

Do your eyes get itchy, red, and irritated? Itchy, red, eyes can be the result of many different causes. Perhaps you were in a smoke infested environment that caused your eyes to itch. Maybe you have been sitting at a computer for several hours all day and strained your eyes by not blinking them as often as you normally do. The most common reason is because you have allergy eyes.

Allergy eyes are most often a negative reaction to a substance in your immediate environment. For example, allergy eyes can be caused by pollen, weeds, and grass exposure. This is most prevalent in the fall and the spring. If you step outside, you can be overwhelmed with allergens and the effects of pollen.

Our beloved pets may also contribute to our having allergy eyes. Dog and cat dander and hair that are released into our environment soon irritate our eyes and they begin to itch and water.

There are ways to treat your eyes and maintain your pet in the home.

What can be done for Allergy Eyes?

One medication, Visine Advance Allergy combines both an antihistamine and a decongestant to effectively relieve the itching, tearing, and redness of your eyes. The symptoms that have been caused by your allergies: pollen, trees, grass, dust, pets, and mold can be relieved. By using Visine Advance Allergy you can soothe and comfort your once irritated eyes.

The itchy, watery, and redness in your eyes can be remedied. This product contains both an antihistamine as well as a decongestant to reduce the swelling of blood vessels.

Adults and children 6 years and over can use these drops. To do so, place 1 to 2 drops in the affected eyes up to four times a day. You may experience a brief tingling sensation.

If you experience any of the following, discontinue your usage and consult your doctor: eye pain, changes in vision, continued redness, or irritation of the eye, or a worsened condition. Also, if your condition lasts for more than 72 hours, you should consult your doctor. If you have any of the following conditions, do not take this product: heart disease, high blood pressure, difficulty urinating, or glaucoma. Overusing this medicine may produce an increase of redness in the eye.
