Dr Mariangela N Wambugu offers BEST EYE ALLERGY TREATMENT within Kilimani and Kileleshwa, Nairobi, Kenya. She will help you in the diagnosis and treatment plan for EYE ALLERGIES, also known as allergic conjunctivitis. EYE ALLERGIES are a common eye condition affecting millions of people. Are your eyes itchy, irritating and red? Are the eyes emitting clear watery discharge, tearing or burning? These are common symptoms of eye allergies which often occur independently but usually accompanied by sniffling, sneezing, or stuffy nose – and more often than not occur when a person's eyes come into contact with an allergen, a substance that causes a misfiring of the immune system in response.

In response, the overreacting immune system releases histamines which cause the eyes to become red and inflamed. People with other allergies are more likely to develop allergic conjunctivitis.

CAUSES OF EYE ALLERGIES
The primary types of eye allergy are seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, contact allergic conjunctivitis and giant papillary conjunctivitis.

The types of eye allergies that we treat include:
Seasonal Conjunctivitis - These are the most common and are generally caused by pollen from trees, grasses or weeds

Perennial Conjunctivitis - These types of eye allergies last all year. Common causes of perennial conjunctivitis include reactions to dust mites, pet dander and other indoor allergens

Contact Conjunctivitis – These are often triggered by makeup, perfume, medications or substances that get into eyes. Symptoms usually appear 2-4 days after the allergen comes into contact with the eye

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC) - caused by an allergic reaction to contact lenses. Poor hygiene when handling contact lenses, solutions and cases can also contribute

Symptoms of Eye Allergies
• Red, irritated eyes
• Tearing
• Itchiness
• Swollen eyelids
• Sensitivity to light
• Soreness, burning or pain

Often you'll also have other allergy symptoms like sneezing or an itchy, runny or stuffy nose.
