ShareWhat is Eye Allergy?
Eye allergy is the allergic reaction of eyes to various irritants usually associated with nose allergy. It is also called ocular allergy. In the recent years, incidence of eye allergy has been increasing due to rise in environmental pollution, industrialization etc.
Causes of Eye Allergy
Allergens that travel through air are the major causative factors of Eye Allergy. This includes:
- Pollen grains
- Dust
- Molds
- Fur and feather of pet animals
- Some eye drops
- Cosmetics
- Contact lens – materials accumulated on the surface of lenses are responsible for causing allergy to the eyes
Symptoms of Eye Allergy
When the allergens come in contact with eyes, body’s immune system produces antibodies that result in following symptoms that help to protect the eyes from harmful effects.
- Itching
- Redness
- Burning sensation
- Swollen eye lids
- Increased sensitivity to light
Sometimes Eye allergy will be associated with nose allergy and skin allergy called Eczema.
As per Ayurveda, itching, watering, mild inflammation, dryness, foreign body sensation etc. are the symptoms of Abhishyanda.

Allergic Conjunctivitis
Conjunctiva is a membrane that covers the eyeball and eyelids. When allergens like dust, chemicals, some medicines, etc. come in contact with conjunctiva, it reacts with symptoms like itching, watering, burning sensation, inflammation, etc. Allergic conjunctivitis may be of 2 types – Acute or Chronic. The acute stage occurs when allergens cause a sudden reaction while in the chronic stage the symptoms come and go. People suffering from any other types of allergy, like skin allergy, asthma, etc. are more prone to be affected by Allergic Conjunctivitis.
