Do You Have Eye Allergies?
About 22 million Americans struggle with the painful symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, also known as eye or ocular allergies.
Take this self-quiz to see what your eyes may be trying to tell you.
- Do your eyes itch?
- Do you experience excessive tearing or watery eyes?
- Are your eyes red?
- Are your eyelids swollen?
- Do you have blurred vision?
- Are your eyes sensitive to light?
- Do your eyes burn?
- Do you often feel like you have something in your eye?
- Are your eye symptoms worse outdoors or during a particular season?
- Do your eye symptoms get worse when you are around pets?
- Do your eye symptoms persist even after using over-the-counter eye drops?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, you may be suffering from eye allergies. Take this quiz to your allergist or personal physician to discuss your symptoms. Ask about effective eye allergy treatment and which options might be appropriate for you.
