About 30 percent to 50 percent of U.S. residents have allergy symptoms. And about 75 percent of those symptoms affect the eyes.
Common signs of allergies include:
- Itchy, red and swollen eyes
- Runny nose
- Sneezing and coughing
- Itchy nose, mouth or throat
- Headache from sinus congestion
If you experience any of these symptoms let your eye care provider know. Many treatment options are available to keep your eyes comfortable.
