Are you having any red or itchy swelling of your eyes? These are the most common warning signs of allergy or infection of your conjunctiva, an important protective layer of your eyes.

Your eyes are the most sensitive parts of allergies!

Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) is the most frequent type of allergic conjunctivitis. It is mainly initiated with the exposure of your eyes to certain allergic substances such as ragweed pollens or any grass. This kind of inflammation of your conjunctiva can usually occur in spring or in late summer months. Itching is considered as the most dominant symptom of SAC and it is also associated with watery or mucus discharge from your eyes.
Perennial allergic conjunctivitis is considered as year around allergic condition of your eyes. These kind of allergic responses are mainly related with animal dander, dust or any other type of allergic substances which are often persistently present in the environment throughout the year.
