Abstract

Eye allergies, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, occur when the eyes react to a substance which irritates them. These substances are called allergens.* The condition is characterised by itchy, watery, red eyes. Over-the-counter (OTC) eye preparations are available which may help to alleviate the troublesome symptoms of eye allergies.
