Why Allergens Cause My Eyes To Become Watery And Itchy?

Allergens cause my eyes to become watery and itchy. I try not to rub them but I can't help it. Now I've notice my sclera seems to fold and wrinkle when I move my eyes around. I feel it more on my left eye than my right one, especially when I look left. Is this serious and should I see a doctor about this?

Hi,

Avoid rubbing, clean with clear wster and take antihistamine drugs like chlorpheniramine maleate or cetrizine or loratidine. This will reduce the allergic reaction and hence itching and watering.

If symptoms perdists topical eye drops are to be used and consult your doctor once for evaluation.

I hope this information helps you.
Regards
