Getting Rid of Allergy Eyes #EyesonVISINE

Disclosure:  This post is part of a VISINE campaign and The Motherhood, who sent me VISINE and compensated me for my time.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans suffer from allergies and unfortunately I am one of them.  I’ve always had allergies and until recently I would use taken a pill or use a wet washcloth on my eyes.  Allergy is actually the fifth leading chronic disease in the U.S. among all ages and the third most common chronic disease among children under 18 years old.

Eye allergies happen when airborne allergens or other particles land on the surface of the eye causing redness and irritation.  For me, my eyes start tearing up immediately and itch like crazy!

Other symptoms eye allergies can cause are:

• Redness
• Swelling and puffiness of the eyelids
• “Foreign body sensation”
• Burning sensation
• Watery eyes

Well VISINE Eye Drops has a product specifically for allergy sufferers called VISINE-A Eye Allergy Relief Eye Drops.  They are drops that temporarily relieve itchy, red eyes due to pollen, ragweed, grass, animal hair and dander.  The drops are clinically proven effective for eye allergy relief and help users get back to their lives.  By combining an antihistamine with a redness reliever to temporarily relieve eye itchiness and redness, users can rid themselves of the allergy symptoms on their eyes.  I didn’t realize that even contact lens wearers can use VISINE, but yes they can!

I haven’t had the chance to test out VISINE, yet, but I love that I have it for when I need it.  It is funny how a small bottle can make the day go smoothly and offer much needed relief.
