Allergy season brings a myriad of challenges, notably the impact on our eyes. As plants bloom and pollen pervades the air, the familiar discomfort of allergic conjunctivitis, akin to a non-infectious pink eye, emerges: itchy, watery eyes that drive us to seek relief. But what triggers these ocular allergies, and more importantly, how can we address them?

Are you suffering from dry, itchy eyes? Blephex treatment may be the solution you've been looking for.
Blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelids. It causes sore, red eyelids and crusty debris at the base of the eyelashes due to clogged oil glands in the area. A chronic condition, it’s challenging to treat – but not impossible.

A lot of people run to buy over the counter eye drops if they experience burning, itching and redness of the eyes during the allergy season. Unfortunately, store-bought drops only cover the symptoms up temporarily, rather than stopping it where it originates.
Struggling with allergies? Suspect you have a pink eye (allergic conjunctivitis)? Minimize your exposure to allergens by vacuuming and dusting. Also, it is a good idea to keep your doors and windows closed if it is an allergy season.
