Potential Complications and Long-Term Outlook
When the weather turns colder or people are able to avoid the allergen, most people find it relieved and they can temporarily get away from their allergy symptoms. If your conjunctivitis becomes chronic, it can affect your vision or even scar your cornea. The cornea is an outermost layer of the eye that protects the eyes from germs, dust, and other harmful agents.
You should pay attention to your symptoms regularly. If you find your symptom does not improve with home care, and it becomes worse or begins to interfere with your vision, it’s advisable to make an appointment with your primary care physician, eye doctor, or allergist to avoid long-term complications.
