As we welcome the spring growing season, pollen is spreading through the air to fertilise the plants. When a person with allergies breathes in this pollen, or it gets into contact with the eyes, the body identifies it as a threat, this triggers an allergic reaction, causing uncomfortable, irratated eyes.
We have asked our professional team, which are the treatment options available, and which are the most effective to offer some relief. When the body comes into contact with the pollen molecule, either via the throat or eyes, it releases substance called IgE, these antibodies attach to mast cells, which in turn release hisamine. Hisamine is the main substance responsible for pollen allergy symptoms.
