A member asked:

How do allergies affect the eyes?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Itching: Ocular allergy is usually accompanied by itching. If chronic, a condition called papillary conjunctivitis can start with small bumps on the back of the lids which are irritating. Prompt treatment with antihistamines can provide rapid relief.
