LOOK AFTER YOUR EYES

It’s important to remove or dilute the pollen responsible for itchy, watery, red and swollen eyes. “Bathe eyes with clean water, or artificial tears – available from your pharmacy,” advises community pharmacist Sultan Dajani.

“Always shower before bedtime then gently clean your eyelids to remove pollen that could cause any irritation while you sleep,” continues Sultan, who also recommends Golden Eye Eye Drops (£5.48) and Golden Eye Ointment (£6.29) for eyes affected by hay fever.
