Product Information

Hayfever patients can self-manage the condition to avoid making their symptoms worse, according to Dr Scadding. She advises: “Grass pollen levels are high first thing in the morning when the pollen goes up as the air warms and they’re also high in the evening when the pollen comes down as the air cools. So avoiding being outside at those times of day is good. If you do have to go out, wrap-around sunglasses can keep the pollen out of your eyes and in these COVID times wearing a mask is actually extremely good protection against pollen as well.
