What causes eye allergies? I'm Dr. Manan Shah, I'm an ENT and allergist with Wyndly Health. When your eyes are exposed to things like pollen, dust mite, cat or dog, or anything you're allergic to, your body releases a molecule called histamine.

Histamine is a vasodilator, meaning it makes your blood vessels wider and it causes itchy eyes, runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. One of the worst thing that happens with eye allergies, is it makes you wanna rub your eyes, but if you do that too much, you can actually damage your cornea. So if you have eye allergies, you can use eyedrops like Pataday, or you should work with an allergist to consider doing something called immunotherapy, which will desensitize you.

Ultimately, we worry that if you have constant eye allergies, you can get inflammation around your eyes, it can irritate your eyes, and even cause vision issues. If you'd like to learn more, please subscribe.
