It never looks good when you or your child has done a good days swimming and you look at your eyes and they are blood shot red. The dreaded swimmers eye irritation.
Although it never really last too long for most people, it can also be an annoying irritation.
Most eye irritation is caused by high level chloramine levels in the pool.
Avoiding chemicals in the pool is impossible being that the pool does need chemicals to stay a pool.
Swimmers eye is not permanent it is just a short irritation. It can cause blurred vision, itchy eye, red eye and tearing from the eye.
To prevent eye irritation, swim in only in properly maintained, sanitized, and balanced pools.
Wear goggles while swimming.
Use eye drops containing antihistamines after leaving the pool.
Outdoors, wear good polarized goggles to filter out destructive rays of the sun while swimming, or sunglasses and a hat if participating it other water activities where your face is not submerged.
If irritation continues after one day please see your doctor.
