As the leaves change, autumn allergies can make your eyes red, itchy, and watery. Pollen, mold, and dry air are common triggers during the fall season. To keep your eyes comfortable, try closing windows on windy days, using a humidifier indoors, and wearing sunglasses to block allergens outdoors. Artificial tears can also help rinse away irritants and soothe dryness.
If your symptoms persist, you may be dealing with allergic conjunctivitis or chronic dry eye, both of which can be evaluated and treated by your eye doctor.
