Can hay fever cause conjunctivitis?

Yes, hay fever can cause conjunctivitis. This happens because the allergens that trigger hay fever can also irritate the eyes, leading to inflammation and discomfort known as allergic conjunctivitis.

Key points:

• Hay fever is triggered by allergens like pollen.
• Allergic reactions can affect the eyes.
• Inflammation leads to symptoms of conjunctivitis.
• Both conditions are linked through the immune response.
