Artwork showing eye with allergic conjunctivitis
Allergic conjunctivitis. Illustration of an eye showing allergic conjunctivitis and conjunctival oedema. The white of the eye is severely bloodshot. In this condition the lower part of the eye often becomes distorted due to build up of fluid (oedema) under the conjunctiva (the membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the white of the eye). These symptoms are caused by an allergic reaction of the conjunctiva to a foreign substance. Allergic conjunctivitis is common and can be triggered by make-up, contact lens solution or pollen. Treatment includes avoiding the cause, and antihistamine eyedrops to relieve the symptoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking artwork captures the distressing effects of allergic conjunctivitis, a condition that plagues countless individuals worldwide. The illustration showcases an eye ravaged by this ailment, with the conjunctiva (the thin membrane covering the inside of the eyelids and white part of the eye) visibly swollen and red. The severity of the inflammation is evident as the lower portion of the eye appears distorted due to fluid build-up, known as oedema. Allergic conjunctivitis occurs when foreign substances trigger an allergic reaction in the conjunctiva. Common culprits include makeup, contact lens solutions, or pollen. This widespread condition can cause immense discomfort and disrupt daily life for those affected. Fortunately, treatment options are available to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Avoiding exposure to allergens is crucial in managing allergic conjunctivitis. Additionally, antihistamine eyedrops offer relief from itching, redness, and swelling. This image serves as a reminder of both the impact allergies can have on our eyes and how medical science continues to explore ways to combat these conditions effectively. Through ongoing research and advancements in healthcare practices, we strive towards providing better care for those suffering from allergic conjunctivitis – ensuring clearer vision and enhanced well-being for all who seek it.
