Catacrom

Catacrom allergy eyes

About allergic conjunctivitis:

• Symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis include itching, burning, watering, redness of the eye and puffiness of the eye lids, usually in both eyes together. Sufferers may also typically have a blocked or runny nose. Eyesight is rarely affected.
• The most important treatment for allergic conjunctivitis is to try to keep away from whatever is causing the allergy. Keeping doors and windows closed normally helps. A cold compress may also help to relieve uncomfortable eyes.
• Anti­allergy eye drops, such as sodium cromoglicate, can help to treat mild to moderate symptoms.

If you think you may be suffering from allergic eyes, ask for advice from a healthcare professional, such as your Pharmacist, Optometrist, or GP.
