### Home Remedies for Swollen Eyes Caused by Allergies Allergies can cause your eyes to become swollen, red, itchy, and watery. Here are some home remedies to help relieve these symptoms: 1. **Wash Your Face**: Washing your face can help remove allergens that stick to your skin and eyelashes. 2. **Rinse Your Eyes**: Rinse your eyes with a little bit of water to help flush out allergens. 3. **Cold Compress**: Apply a cold compress around your eyes to reduce itching and swelling. You can use a towel soaked in cold water or a refrigerated damp cloth. 4. **Allergy Eye Drops**: Over-the-counter eye drops can soothe itchy, swollen eyes. An ophthalmologist might also prescribe antihistamine eye drops. 5. **Mast Cell Stabilizer Eye Drops**: These drops prevent the release of histamines and should be used before exposure to allergens. 6. **Oral Medications or Allergy Shots**: Over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications, including antihistamines, can provide relief. Allergy shots (immunotherapy) can also help control symptoms. 7. **Stay Indoors**: On days when outdoor allergens are high, stay inside. Save outdoor activities for after a rain when fewer allergens are in the air. 8. **Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes**: Rubbing your eyes can worsen symptoms. If you experience intense redness that doesn't go away, or if you have other severe symptoms, consult your doctor immediately.
