The main allergens for perennial conjunctivitis include mold, mites, pet hair and dander, and dust. The primary symptoms are eye discomfort, frequent blinking, and eye rubbing.
Chronic condition can affect children's vision, potentially worsening amblyopia and myopia. Treating allergic conjunctivitis can alleviate or even cure these conditions in some children.
Reducing the number of allergens is key. Follow these steps:
Pet hair, dander, and secretions can be allergens, especially from cats. Even after a year of removing a cat, cat allergens can still be detected in the home.
Mold is associated with moisture, which is essential for its growth. Turtles and flower pots are prime carriers of mold.
Mites feed on human skin flakes and primarily live in beds. To reduce their impact, wash bed sheets and bedding frequently, preferably in water above 50°C (122°F).
