Allergic conjunctivitis (Eye allergy): Allergic conjunctivitis, also known as eye allergy is the immune response that occurs when the eye comes in contact with an irritating substance known as an allergen. Symptoms of eye allergy include itching, burning sensation, watery eyes, red/pink eyes, scaling around the eyes, and swollen or puffy eyelids.
Dry eyes: Dry eye is a common eye condition that occurs when your tears cannot provide ample lubrication for the eyes. The tearing instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye surface. The dry eye could be caused by disruption of the healthy tear film due to autoimmune disease, hormonal changes, or inflamed eyelid glands. Symptoms include burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a sensation of having something in the eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision.
