Red, Itchy Eyes Got Your Child Down?

Allergy season can be tough on kids, especially when it comes to those red, itchy eyes. Luckily, relief is often available over-the-counter!

Dr. Rose Hughes from University Children's Eye Center recommends allergy eye drops like Pataday. Available without a prescription, Pataday comes in different strengths: 0.2% for mild itching and redness, and 0.7% for more severe symptoms.

How to use:

• One drop in each eye, once a day.

• Try refrigerating the drops for extra soothing coolness.

• Safe to use daily for up to two weeks, then as needed.

When to see a doctor:

• If your child's symptoms don't improve after two weeks of consistent use, it's time to consult with an eye doctor.

With the right approach, you can help your child find fast relief from allergy-related eye irritation!
