Understanding Your Eye Allergies

Our optometrist is here to help you understand the basics of eye allergies. Allergies are caused when the immune system responds to an external stimulus like pollen, pet dander, or spores. Allergies are the body incorrectly identifying these elements as harmful and activating an immune response. This is why allergies can cause many of the same symptoms of an infection, like swollen eyes, a buildup of mucus, and discomfort. Allergies tend to flare up during spring and summer, but they can happen at any time of the year.

Why Do Allergies Flare Up?

There can be many causes for your allergies to worsen or flare up. This can be due to the changing seasons, which causes changes in pollen, spores, and other plant-based causes of allergens. Allergies also flare up while cleaning, when visiting a friend with a pet, or while out and about on your daily business.

How We Treat Allergies 

We treat allergies with various forms of eye drops, prescription medications, and over-the-counter medications. The specific treatment plan we create will depend on your needs, goals, and the type of allergy that you have.

Why You Should Regularly See Your Optometrist

A visit to your optometrist is the best way to fend off potential problems. Medical issues with your eyes are easiest to treat when they are caught early in their development. We can catch problems before they become serious.
