Brief Answer:
Hey this looks absolutely fine . Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the follow up dear . Your eye looks absolutely fine dont worry . Allergies sadly flare up in summers as the amount of pollen and allergens is more in the environment. I would advise you to use mild antiallergics like olopatadine regularly and avoid rubbing your eyes . If it flares up even more we can schedule and appointment and prescibe you stronger antiallergica for some time . Hope my answer helps you . Regards
