#Allergic Conjunctivitis

Allergic conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane lining the eyelids and covering the white part of the eye, caused by an allergic reaction. It occurs when the eyes are exposed to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Symptoms typically include red, itchy, watery eyes, and swollen eyelids. Management often involves avoiding allergens and using antihistamine eye drops or mast cell stabilizers.
