If you have an eye allergy that causes watery, red, irritated eyes, these eye drops can help to relieve your symptoms and help you feel more comfortable. They’re easy to use and get to work quickly, helping to ease irritation and relieve perennial allergic conjunctivitis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-2\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-3\"\u003eWhy do I have allergy symptoms in my eyes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you have an allergy, such as a sensitivity to pet fur or dust mites, then you can experience symptoms in your eyes as a part of an allergic reaction. When you come into contact with something you’re allergic to your body releases a natural substance called histamine, which tells different parts of your body to get rid of the allergen. One of these areas is your eyes, which experience itching, redness, inflammation, and watering when histamine is released into them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-4\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-5\"\u003eHow will Opticrom Allergy Eye Drops relieve my allergy symptoms?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpticrom Allergy Eye Drops contain an active ingredient called sodium cromoglicate, which is an anti-allergic. It works by keeping histamine from being released into your eyes so it can’t cause your allergy symptoms. This treats and prevents symptoms like itching, redness, and watery eyes at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-6\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-7\"\u003eCan I use these eye drops if I’m wearing contact lenses?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should not use Opticrom Allergy eye drops if you wear soft contact lenses.
