Allergic Conjunctivitis

Allergic conjunctivitis is a common eye condition characterised by inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear tissue lining the inside of the eyelid. Allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious and is usually managed with antihistamine eye drops, artificial tears, cold compresses, and avoiding allergens.

More about allergic conjunctivitis

What is allergic conjunctivitis?

Allergic conjunctivitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the conjunctiva, the tissue lining the inner surface of the eyelids and covering the white part of the eye. It occurs in response to exposure to allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain chemicals, triggering an allergic reaction.

What are some symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis?

Symptoms typically include redness, itching, tearing, swelling, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. These symptoms can vary in severity and may be intermittent or persistent, depending on the degree of allergen exposure.

How long does allergic conjunctivitis last?

The duration of allergic conjunctivitis can vary depending on factors such as the type and severity of the allergy, the effectiveness of treatment, and the degree of allergen exposure.

  • Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC)triggered by seasonal allergens like pollen, typically lasts for the duration of the allergy season. This can range from weeks to months, depending on the specific allergens involved and the local climate.
  • Perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC)caused by year-round allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, or mold, may persist for an extended period if allergen exposure continues unabated.

In some cases, allergic conjunctivitis may become chronic, requiring ongoing management to control symptoms and prevent flare-ups. It's essential to consult with an eye care professional for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations tailored to individual needs and circumstances.

How to treat allergic conjunctivitis?

Treatment for allergic conjunctivitis typically involves a combination of preventive measures and symptomatic relief. Here are some approaches:

  • avoid allergens: minimize exposure to known allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. Use allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses, keep windows closed during high pollen seasons, and limit contact with pets if allergies are triggered by animal dander
  • cold compresses: apply cold compresses to the eyes to help alleviate itching, swelling, and discomfort associated with allergic conjunctivitis
  • artificial tears: use over-the-counter artificial tear solutions to lubricate the eyes and relieve dryness and irritation caused by allergic reactions
  • antihistamine eye drops:: over-the-counter or prescription antihistamine eye drops can help reduce itching and redness by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released during allergic reactions
  • allergy medications: oral antihistamines or other allergy medications may be prescribed to help control systemic allergy symptoms, which can also provide relief for allergic conjunctivitis
