Symptom #2: Watery and Itchy Eyes
The eyes are quite delicate, but they are also quite well protected. They are sunken into the skull, which acts as a protective casing that keeps them safe from injury. The eyelids and eyelashes help protect them from small particles. Regardless, the eyes are still not completely safe from irritation or harm.
Sometimes even tiny molecules can cause discomfort. When pollen or other allergens come into contact with the eyes, then they become itchy to encourage people to rub them. Rubbing helps remove the allergen. Allergies also cause the production of excess fluids in the tear ducts, which further helps to remove the allergen.
