The best method to prevent allergic conjunctivitis is to eliminate the substance that triggers the reaction from the environment as much as possible.
If you are allergic to dust mites or animal hair, it's important to take care of cleaning the home and change the air often. Those who are allergic to pollens, on the other hand, should avoid going out during the hours when they are most common in the environment and wear sunglasses that hinder exposure to irritants, especially in the presence of wind. Even the application of artificial tears acts as a temporary protective barrier against allergens, favoring their removal and facilitating the restoration of the tear film.
If the reaction is linked to a single, well-defined antigen, desensitization (or specific allergen immunotherapy) may be considered, although the results vary from person to person.
