Allergic conjunctivitis: Allergic conjunctivitis is a common eye inflammation when the eyes come into contact with an allergen. Symptoms such as itching and redness of the eyes can occur because the overreacting immune system causes the body to release histamine and other active substances. As a result, the blood vessels dilate or expand, irritating the nerve endings.
