How Eye Allergies Occur

Eye allergies are common eye conditions that cause the conjunctiva to be inflamed. Conjunctiva is the tissue that lines the interior surface of the eyelid and the outside of the eyeball. This tissue helps to keep your eyeball moist. When this area is inflamed, normal eye and vision functions can be difficult to manage. Eye Allergies usually cause redness and irritation in both eyes instead of in just one.

Seasonal Allergies Affect Your Eyes

Seasonal allergens that irritate your nose often have the same effect on your eyes. We often patients suffering from a combination of eye irritation and nasal congestion.

Effective Eye Allergy Treatment We Offer

There are several eye care options you can consider depending on the frequency and severity of your allergies. Artificial tears provide temporary relief for dry, itchy eyes. Along with providing moisture, the drops will flush allergens out of your eyes. Artificial tears are one of the best options for immediate relief, but won't prevent future outbreaks.

Corticosteroids are prescribed for chronic eye allergies, but make sure to consult our eye care team to make sure they are used properly without any side effects. Immunotherapy shots are used to treat severe allergies that affect your eyes along with your airway and other parts of the body. We may also recommend discontinuing the use of your contact lenses until your eye allergies clear up.
