Spring allergies can make contact lens wear more challenging. Pollen, dust, and other allergens in the air can stick to lenses and irritate your eyes, leading to redness, itching, and discomfort.
If you wear contacts during allergy season, a few small habits can make a big difference:
🪻 Wash your hands before handling lenses to avoid transferring allergens
🪻 Consider daily disposable lenses so allergens aren’t building up over time
🪻 Use preservative-free artificial tears to help flush irritants from the eye
🪻 Avoid rubbing your eyes, which can worsen irritation
🪻 Talk to us if symptoms persist
With the right approach, many people can still wear contacts comfortably through allergy season.
