It happens when the tear film that coats the eye stops doing its job well. That tear film has three parts. An oily outer layer slows evaporation, a watery middle layer carries nutrients and washes away debris, and an inner mucous layer helps tears stick evenly to the eye.

The conjunctiva is packed with immune cells called mast cells. When an allergen lands on the eye, these cells release histamine and other chemicals.

The problem is not really in the eye, it is in how the brain learned to use it. In early childhood, the brain learns to see. It needs a clear, matching image from each eye to build strong connections for both.
