Eye allergies, also called ocular allergies or allergic conjunctivitis, affect one in five Americans. Though the symptoms can be annoying — not to mention unbecoming — they pose little threat to eyesight other than temporary blurriness. However, red, itchy, burning, and puffy eyes can also be caused by infections and other conditions that do threaten eyesight.
