If your eyes are itchy, chances are you have ALLERGY EYES, AKA Allergic Conjunctivitis. If it’s happening in August or September, JOIN THE CROWD! South East Qld is one of the best places in the world to live, and the price we pay is that the air is teeming with allergens.

After heavy rains, grass releases seed into the air. Lots of us live in beautiful old Queenslanders which can be dust-catchers. It rains here - mould grows in our homes. And in August and September, watch out - everything’s blossoming.

One of the best things to get is Zoptic eye drops. These are really hard to find, and Bardon Pharmacy near us knows we love them. If you’re going to find them anywhere, they’ll have some. Zoptic is over-the-counter - you won’t need a written script for it.

There are also other options available. Have a read of the attachment below to learn more!
