If, like many people, you suffer from an eye allergy (allergic conjunctivitis) you will know that it can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience.

As a direct result of your allergy, your eyes are probably feeling irritated. They may sting, you may experience excessive tearing, redness and swelling and you probably suffer from photophobia (light sensitivity).
