🌸 Spring Allergies and Your Eyes 🌸

Spring is here, and so are the pesky allergens! If you're experiencing itchy, red, or watery eyes, you’re not alone — allergy season can take a toll on your vision.

🌿 Allergy Symptoms Can Affect Your Eyes:

Itchy or burning eyes
Redness or puffiness
Excessive tearing
Sensitivity to light

👁️ Tips for Relief:
1) Use antihistamine eye drops or allergy medications. Over-the-counter drops can be effective, but we are happy to help with getting prescription allergy eye drops if something stronger is necessary.
2) Keep your windows closed during high pollen times
3) An over-the-counter allergy medication such as Reactine, Claritin, etc can help with itchy eyes and other allergy symptoms

If allergy symptoms are affecting your vision or comfort, schedule an appointment today. Our team can help with personalized solutions to protect your eyes this spring! 🌼
