Top 5 eye care products for hay fever season

The Spring Equinox begins on the 20th of March. The days start to become longer, birds start singing their sweet songs in the early morning and you can slowly put away those woolly winter jumpers in exchange for light cardigans. It also means that for those who suffer from hay fever, the most dreaded time of the year is coming, although, with a bit of know-how and the right products, it needn’t have to be.

Blink Lid Clean

The Eye Doctor Lid Wipes help to maintain daily eyelid hygiene. Preservative free, these wipes are perfect for gently cleaning away debris from the eyelid, developed by eye care experts The Body Doctor.

The wipes can be used by both babies and adults and are designed for even the most sensitive eyes. The gentle formula works to remove any dirt or discharge from your eyelid and eyelashes and can help relieve and sooth the effects of dry eye, MGD, blepharitis and other eye related conditions.

They are pre-soaked in individual sachets, handy to keep with you on-the-go.

Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution

If you’re a monthly or two weekly contact lens wearer, you’ll know that you need to clean your contact lenses every night before bed. And, in the spring time, this is made all the more important by loose pollen in the air getting caught on your lenses. Which is why you’ll need a quality contact lens solution to keep your lenses in top shape and ensure they’re clean comfortable and safe to wear come the morning.

With comfi All-in-One Solution, you can be sure of a multi-purpose contact lens solution that effectively cleans, disinfects, rinses and stores your soft contact lenses. This premium solution offers exceptional value for money, making it your number one ally in this spring’s fight against hay fever.

Designer Sunglasses

As well as providing vital UV protection, wearing sunglasses is also one of the very best ways to protect your eyes from hay fever.

Sunglasses work as a barrier between your eyes and harmful allergens in the air, meaning you can rest assured that your eyes are covered from pollen floating in the wind.

The most effective types of sunglasses will be those that offer full coverage and wrapped frames.

It’s difficult to choose from all of our amazing designs, but we’d highly recommend the Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer Black 901/58. available at FeelGoodContacts.com with delivery to Ireland available from €4.50.

comfi Drops

The latest addition to the comfi range, comfi Drops rehydrate your eyes, adding a high dose of moisture, lubricating your eyes and easing dryness and irritation. They contain the highest concentration of sodium hyaluronate (HA), which replicates your natural tears and moisturises your eyes by improving the way that tears are held onto the surface.

Completely contact lens friendly, these eye drops are a highly effective option to protect against factors such as digital screen use and high air conditioning in offices.

Whether you’re studying or at work, you can keep these eye drops at hand to instantly refresh your eyes. comfi Drops are ideal for contact lens wearers of soft contact lenses and are available in a handy travel-sized 10ml bottle to carry with you wherever you go.

Blink Refreshing Hydrating Eye Mist

A great alternative to eye drops is Blink Refreshing Hydrating Eye Mist. Similarly to the eye drops, the refreshing mist adds a dose of hydration and relief for dry and irritated eyes. The spray is useful for contact lens wearers and non-lens wearers alike. As well as hay fever, warmer weather, excessive screen use and air conditioning can all lead to irritation in and around the eye area.

Incredibly gentle to the eyes, the biocompatible mist works to hydrate your eyes using only a few sprays, more convenient for those who have difficulty putting drops directly into their eyes.

The 10ml-sized bottle is perfect for when you are on the go and will fit perfectly into your bag, purse or pocket.

You’ve been waiting all winter for spring and it’s finally here, so make sure you’re prepared so you can enjoy it to the fullest with zero hassle.
