Spring may bring blooming flowers and warmer days, but for many, it also brings sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone seasonal allergies affect millions of people each year. These allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, are triggered by airborne pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. When your immune system reacts to these harmless particles, it leads to those all-too-familiar symptoms.
So, what can you do about it?
The good news is that relief is possible. Simple steps like keeping windows closed during high pollen times, showering after spending time outdoors, and using an air purifier indoors can all make a difference. Over-the-counter antihistamines and eye drops may also help.
However, if your symptoms are persistent or affecting your daily life, it might be time to see a healthcare provider. At Southwest Eye Care, our team can help identify what’s triggering your symptoms and recommend treatment options to bring you relief—especially if your eyes are dry, itchy, or watery.
