When the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming, it’s hard to resist heading outdoors, but it's important to keep your eyes protected. High levels of pollen, mold, dust, and other irritants can cause severe eye irritation. These airborne allergens may be the primary culprit of watery, itchy eyes, but relief may be closer than you think. Check out these four tips for mild cases of seasonal allergies:

1. Keep the windows shut in your car and home—especially in the early morning hours when pollination tends to occur. 
2. Wear wrap-around glasses or sunglasses to keep pollen out of your eyes. 
3. Place a cold compress over your eyes to soothe discomfort. 
4. Use artificial tears or eye drops to flush out any irritants.
