Hay Fever Season is Here!

Book links are usually affiliate links. This means I earn a small percentage when you click through and buy the book. This costs you nothing extra - it simply allows me to keep my cats in the lifestyle they're accustomed to.

The following is a sponsored guest post:

The spring and summer months can cause havoc with your eyes and we are no strangers to streaming, itchy peepers that cause us much pain during the warmer months. These symptoms can be even more of a nuisance if you wear contact lenses. We look at simple ways to help combat the signs of hay fever and how to protect your eyes.

Firstly, if you live in the city, pollution will also cause irritation to your eyes if they are already feeling the effects of hay fever. During these months it might be an idea to stick to wearing glasses and prescription sunglasses are a must.

Use eye drops to keep itchy eyes at bay and seek prescription hay fever medication if over-the-counter remedies do not appear to be eliminating your symptoms. Eye drops will help keep the eyes moist, as dryness can be very uncomfortable. Taking a daily hay fever tablet may help keep itchy, runny eyes at bay while taking care of other irritants such as the runny nose and sneezing that many sufferers experience.

To avoid further irritation it is advisable not to sunbathe in contact lenses. Steroid eye drops can be prescribed in severe cases of hay fever but it is widely thought that these are too extreme for our delicate eyes and should be avoided if possible.

Try and avoid the outdoors during periods of high pollination and give yourself a cold-water eye bath whenever you can, this will work wonders for keeping dryness and itchiness at bay. The main point as always when it comes to eyes is not to scratch them. This will only irritate the condition more.

Letting hay fever get you down can ruin your summertime, so try and apply as many of these tips to your daily eye care routine as possible. For some, hay fever will always be a problem but learning how to manage it better is key.

    I am prone to hay fever. So far, I have felt some symptoms this summer but not enough to warrant reaching for the antihistamines yet. I am expecting a few days where I will need them much like last year. They say that here in eastern Canada, allergy season will not be over until November. It’s a long haul.

    Not suffering in this condition but my wife does that is why I am looking for home remedies I can use to manage these symptoms and be able to offer her enough comfort she needed most.

    Ward,

    You’re a very thoughtful husband! Hay fever and seasonal allergies can make you feel miserable! I’ve found that eating a lot of locally grown honey does wonders. I happen to be obsessed with honey, so it’s easy for me to eat PLENTY of it!
