Eye allergy symptoms usually occur due to the eyes over reaction to an object which it thinks will harm it though in reality the object is harmless. We can, for example, take the case of dust. To a non- allergic person dust is harmless .But to a person who has eye allergy dust can cause havoc and can help in creating a number of eye allergy symptoms.

Eye allergies can be seasonal as well as non seasonal. In most cases it is also seen that eye allergy is a hereditary condition. But it is also true that eye allergies can attack anyone at anytime and are unpredictable in nature.

In almost all the cases the symptom of itching indicates eye allergy. The most common symptoms of eye allergy are:

• Itching and Redness in the eyes
• Watery eyes
• Eyelid swelling
• Nasal congestion in some instances
• Allergic asthma
• Burning sensation
• Blurred vision

A large number of people around the world suffer from eye allergy symptoms which are seasonal in character. They develop from allergens in pollen, dust and many other particles. The most common seasonal eye allergy is called ‘allergic conjunctivitis’. The symptoms of this disease are similar to other eye allergy symptoms like itchy and red eyes, with tear and swollen eye lids. The symptoms can cause great discomfort for the suffering individual. The duration of the symptoms is also unpredictable. The symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis can be very frequent during the late spring and early summer when the pollen counts are very high in the air.

Some people who are allergic to pets also show eye allergy symptoms when they come near a pet to which they are allergic. The severity of an eye allergy depends on the individual’s intolerance level to the allergen. In most cases it is also seen that eye allergy symptoms only receive adequate medical attention when the symptoms become almost unbearable because people at the first place tent to ignore the symptoms altogether.
