Saline rinses and excess eye drops? Experts debunk common myths about conjunctivitis and dry eyes

With allergy-related conjunctivitis cases rising 33 percent in spring, eye health is under seasonal threat — but common remedies such as saline rinses and excessive artificial tear use may do more harm than good, experts warn. This spring, a 43-year-old resident of Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, found herself stuck at home despite the long holiday weekend. Her second-grade child was suffering from allergic conjunctivitis. “Cold compresses help with the itchiness, but only temporarily,” she said. “We can’t use the prescribed eye drops more than recommended, and rubbing makes it worse — I just hope the pollen season ends soon.” Spring, despite its clear skies and flowers, is ironically a danger zone for eyes. Pollen, fine dust and yellow dust all irritate the conjunctiva, causing redness, itching and tearing — classic symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. According to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the number of patients treated for conjunctivitis between March and May last year reached 555,952, up 33 percent from winter (416,933).
