The arrival of spring signals the end of the winter blues for some but the start of dreaded hay fever for others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Roy Morgan Research, 27 per cent of Australians over 14 suffer from allergic eyes triggered by pollen, so AFTPharmaceuticals has put together a list to help manage hay fever symptoms.<\/p>\n

1. Vacuum regularly, run over your carpets often and dust around your home (dampen the worst areas)<\/p>\n

2. Keep your bedding clean, change your sheets and pillowcases regularly<\/p>\n

3. Close your windows, this will help keep the allergens out<\/p>\n

4. Cut down on alcohol, beer, wine and spirits all contain histamines, which only adds to your misery<\/p>\n

5. Get a good night\u2019s sleep, when your body is under attack, it needs all the recovery time you can get.<\/p>\n

6. Reduce stress, experts say that stress will increase the severity of your springtime woes.<\/p>\n

7. Plan your day, try not to go out in peak allergen time (tree pollen is at its worse in the morning) – if you exercise outside, leave it until the late afternoon or evening.<\/p>\n

8. Keep the eye drops handy, a visit to your local chemist will calm your symptoms.<\/p>\n

Even better, if you\u2019re proactive you can avoid allergic, itchy eyes altogether.<\/p>\n

Dr Hartley Atkinson is the CEO of pharmaceutical company AFT, who has brought Cromo-Fresh – an eye drop that relieves symptoms of hay fever and works proactively to prevent them altogether- to Australia.<\/p>\n

Cromo-Fresh, is the only preservative and phosphate free eye drop for allergic eyes in a multi-use bottle, this reduces further irritation in eyes already suffering from allergies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe truly believe the COMOD system is revolutionary as the device protects the solution from contaminated ambient air without the use of preservatives, allows appropriate dosage with every application, and ensures the precise delivery of at least 300 drops,\u201d Dr Atkinson said.<\/p>\n

Cromo-Fresh can prevent hay fever discomfort from occurring before allergies strike \u2013 it is not an anti-histamine treatment and can be used in adults and children.<\/p>\n

Because it is different to anti-histamines (which block the effects of histamines on the body), it stops the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances- so, the formulation works preventatively.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegular applications of Cromo-Fresh around a week before the pollen season is due can help manage allergy symptoms,\u201d says Dr Atkinson.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to use on the go and doesn\u2019t irritate the eyes further.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
