The fall season is officially here, and so are its allergens. Pollen counts are up, and the main culprit for fall allergies is ragweed pollen. Seasonal allergies are common, with about a quarter of U.S. adults experiencing them. Common symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and congestion, but there are eye-related symptoms to look out for, as well. Here are some of the most common ocular symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Eye Dryness

Yes, seasonal changes can cause your eyes to feel dry. This can be caused by a few things. As the air cools, it loses moisture. This cold, dry air can cause some people’s eyes to feel dry. Allergens can also cause eyes to feel dry by causing minor swelling within the eye, hindering tear production.

Excessive Watering

If we had to guess what you’re thinking, it’d be, “Wait, didn’t we just read that allergies can cause occasional dry eye? Now you’re telling us it can make them water, too?!” Yes! Seasonal allergies can cause your eyes to water excessively, too, because your eyes are trying to get rid of whatever is irritating them (pollen, dust, etc.). Excessive watering is one of the most common ocular symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Itchiness and Irritation

Allergens are irritants, which is why they can cause your eyes to become irritated (no surprise there). Irritated eyes are a common symptom to experience with allergies. Itchy eyes are another common symptom experienced with seasonal allergies. Because allergens are irritants, your body reacts with itching, which can trigger the scratching reaction to remove the irritants.

The good news is there’s a solution for all these ocular symptoms of seasonal allergies (hint: it’s not an antihistamine)!
