Summer is coming which means long sunny days, flowers in bloom…. and hayfever 🤧
Hayfever can make your eyes:
🌺 Itchy
🌸 Watery
🌼 Swollen
🌹Gritty
To combat this (along with taking antihistamines) we recommend using eye drops designed for allergy sufferers such as Hycosan Dual, wearing sunglasses that fit closely to the face (which will act as a shield against pollen as well as protecting against UV rays), washing your face regularly to remove allergens and, if your eyes are sore in the evening, you could place a cool damp compress over your eyes for 5-10 minutes.
Oh! And the golden rule: don’t rub your eyes! It’ll make the itching and swelling worse and is bad for general eye health 😳
