There are many treatment options for people with allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivits is usually diagnosed when the eyes are red, itchy and there are small bumps found on the inside of a patient’s eyelids. This is most commonly caused by hay fever or a reaction to common allergens such as pet dander or pollen. When these allergens affect a person’s eyes, histamines are released by the body to attack the allergen. These histamines are what causes the itching, burning and irritation found with allergic conjunctivitis. Symptoms may vary between different seasons of the year, and Summer through Fall is usually the worst time for most patients.
