Why do i have symptoms of allergy in my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mast cells: The same cells in your nose that react to the pollens (or other allergens you breathe in) are also located in your eyes. In some people, exposure to allergens in the air leads to histamine release in the tissues around your eyes, causing itching, redness, and watery eyes. Talk with your doctor about your allergy and eye symptoms.
