Press Release Summary = According to a leading contact lens retailer, seasonal allergies can make it very difficult for sufferers to wear lenses comfortably.
However, help is at hand.

Press Release Body = If you find it difficult to wear contact lenses during the
spring or the summer, you are not alone.

The UK's leading independent contact lens retailer, Onestopcontactlenses.co.uk, says
that many customers contact them at this time of year complaining that their eyes
itch. This can make it uncomfortable and unpleasant to wear contact lenses.

According to the company, having itchy eyes in the spring or summer is usually the
result of a seasonal allergy. This is often triggered by the increased pollen count
that is common at this time of year and which can cause people's eyes to feel sore
and itchy.

If summers have become an itchy nightmare for you, don't despair, help is at hand.

Onestopcontactlenses.co.uk advises its customers who are suffering from seasonal
allergies to wear glasses whilst symptoms persist. Whilst for those who are
desperate to avoid wearing glasses it recommends wearing disposable lenses for a
couple of hours a day.

Additionally, sit says that some eye drops containing antihistamine can help
relieve the itchiness. These can be bought from most pharmacies without a
prescription. However, they cannot be used in conjunction with contact lenses.

Mast-cell stabilisers drops can also be used over a prolonged period of time to
strengthen the membranes of the cells that cause the symptoms of allergy.
