When to seek urgent help
Allergic conjunctivitis is uncomfortable but not usually serious. You should see a GP, optometrist, or go to A&E urgently if you have significant eye pain, sensitivity to light, blurred or reduced vision, one eye affected far more than the other with marked swelling, or symptoms in a newborn baby. Seek urgent care too if your eyelids become very swollen, hot or increasingly painful, as this can point to a different, more serious infection rather than allergy.
FAQs
Allergic conjunctivitis is usually itchy, affects both eyes, and produces watery rather than thick, coloured discharge. It's also not contagious, unlike bacterial conjunctivitis. Your online consultation helps identify which is more likely for you.
