People suffering from allergic conjunctivitis experience symptoms such as itching, foreign body sensation, and constant tearing, which can be very bothersome and, in severe cases, can have a very negative impact on their quality of life.
Non-pharmacological treatments are primarily aimed at providing the relief these individuals need. Some of these solutions are outlined in specialized literature: application of cold compresses, saline solution, and artificial tears are common recommendations. Recent studies have shown that a superior effect is achieved when combining topical pharmacology with moisturizing drops and cold compresses.
In this regard, it is necessary to consider two very important aspects:
Cleaning
To remove allergens and provide freshness, relieving the itching sensation.
Hydration
To restore the balance of tears, affected by the allergic process and the release of histamines.
Our recommendation is to advise the end-user to perform a daily 3-step routine while the allergic process lasts:
Step 1 - Eye cleansing with Acuaiss Wipes. Every morning
Acuaiss wipes with hyaluronic acid and natural extracts are designed for daily hygiene of eyelids, eyelashes, and eyelid margins. They facilitate the removal of dirt residues in this area, such as allergens that may have accumulated on the eyelashes overnight. They are suitable for adults, children, and babies.
Step 2 - Ocular hydration with Acuaiss Ultra. Throughout the day
Moisturizing drops for stressed eyes. They contain a biomolecule of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (0.15%), which acts as a humectant and lubricant. They provide hydration and restore the balance of tears. They help dilute the amount of allergens in situations where using an eye bath for cleaning is not convenient, such as when outdoors or in the office.
Step 3 - Eye cleansing with Acuaiss Eye Bath. Every night
Acuaiss Eye Bath is an isotonic and buffered saline solution, with hyaluronic acid. It is specifically indicated for ocular cleansing in allergic processes. It removes allergens and provides relief to irritated and tired eyes.
