While this may be effective for people who don\u2019t suffer from allergies, you may need something a little stronger, especially during allergy season.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your eye doctor about switching to a peroxide-based disinfectant system. Some eye doctors feel this cleaning regime may be beneficial for some patients to ensure that all of the allergens and debris on the surface of your lenses are completely removed.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Not only is it important to hydrate your body by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, but it&#8217;s also important to hydrate your eyes\u2014 specifically during allergy flare ups.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Eye allergies can make your eyes feel dry and irritated and affect the way your contact lenses feel on your eyes.
