What is hay fever?

When you have hay fever you are allergic to pollen from grasses, plants or trees. The complaints associated with hay fever occur when you come into contact with the pollen. This pollen then ends up in your eyes, nose or mouth, leading to a thickening of the mucous membranes and an increase in mucus production. Although hay fever is harmless and the symptoms disappear on their own, hay fever is often experienced as annoying and can cause various eye complaints.

How do I recognize hay fever?

Hay fever is often accompanied by the following complaints:

• Sneezing

• Stuffed nose or a runny nose

• Itchy eyes

• Teary eyes

• Fatigue

• Shortness of breath

What should I do if I have eye problems due to hay fever?

Eye complaints that are consistent with hay fever are very annoying. You can reduce your eye complaints due to hay fever with the following tips:

• Try not to rub your eyes. Rubbing can worsen eye complaints caused by hay fever, such as itching.

• Control your hay fever by using suitable medication or eye drops.

• Wear sunglasses when you go outside during hay fever season. This way you protect your eyes against pollen.
