Introduction
When experiencing itchy eyes due to spring pollen allergies, it is important to promptly avoid the allergen. Wear protective eyewear when going outdoors to prevent allergens from entering the eyes again. If eye itching is mild, rinsing the eyes with normal saline can help remove allergens and alleviate symptoms. For severe itching, it is recommended to use fluorometholone eye drops under a doctor's guidance to control inflammation and improve symptoms.
Itchy eyes caused by spring pollen allergies can be relieved by avoiding allergens, rinsing, and using medication.
1. Avoid allergens: It is important to stay away from allergens promptly. Wear a mask and goggles when going outdoors to prevent allergens from entering the eyes again, and try to minimize time spent outside.
2. Rinsing: If eye itching is mild, flushing the eyes with a large amount of normal saline can help remove allergens and alleviate symptoms.
3. Medication: For severe itching, it is recommended to use corticosteroid eye drops under a doctor's guidance, such as fluorometholone eye drops, tobramycin-dexamethasone eye drops, or prednisolone acetate eye drops, to improve symptoms.
