Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, or hay fever, are a common condition seen in practice. Specific pollens release spores during specific seasons: May and June (grass pollen) and August and September (ragweed pollen). Itching is the most common symptom in seasonal allergic conjunctivitis diagnosis, as well as watery/mucus discharge, burning, and redness of the eyes.
Perennial allergic conjunctivitis is a year-round allergic condition. This is often related to animal hair, dust, or other allergens present in the environment year round. Symptoms are similar to seasonal allergic conjunctivitis but tend to be milder.
What may you experience during the hay fever season?
- Swelling or puffiness of the eyes
- Redness
- Itching
