ALLERGIC RHINITIS - CAUSES, SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

Allergic arises when the body’s immune system becomes sensitized or overreacts to an allergen or something from

  • 2. It is generally caused by dust mites, pet hair or dander, cockroaches or mold.

Seasonal (outdoor)

CONJUNCTIVITIS CAUSES, SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

Conjunctivitis, also known as Pink Eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent layer that covers the inner eyelid and the white portion at the front of the eye (the sclera).

An irritation will cause the blood vessels contained in the conjunctiva to dilate, which leads to red, bloodshot eyes.

There are 3 types of conjunctivitis:

  • Infectious Conjunctivitis, caused by bacterial or viral infections
  • Chemical Conjunctivitis caused by air pollutants or chemicals
  • Allergic Conjunctivitis caused by perennial or seasonal allergies

How to treat

During an allergic reaction, various substances are released by certain type of cells in your eyes. These are called mast cells. The substances released by these cells affect your eyes in different ways (blood vessels, nerves, and glands). They cause redness, itching and watery eyes.

CromolynTM Eye Drops act on the mast cells to prevent and them from releasing the substances that cause symptoms associated with eye allergies.
