Hayfever can be of particular nuisance to contact lens and glasses wearers who may develop itchy, sore and red eyes as pollen counts rise. According to the charity Allergy UK, nearly 18 million people in the UK suffered with hay-fever last year.
Alex Gage said: ‘Spectacles can help as a barrier to pollen, including sunglasses for those who do not need spectacles. Contact lens wearers can consider daily lenses if they know when their worst season is as daily lenses have the advantage of being fresh and clean of any pollen each morning.’
