Eye Allergies are common in the spring, affecting up to 30% of people worldwide.
Fortunately, we can provide effective treatment — so you get the relief you seek.
Eye allergies occur when the body becomes hypersensitive to a particular substance, such as pollen or dust, triggering the immune system to release histamine.
When histamine reaches the eyes, the blood vessels in the eye area swell, giving the appearance of red eyes.
Some symptoms of eye allergies include dry, red, itchy, irritated, watery eyes. Eye allergy symptoms are often accompanied by sneezing or runny nose.
Common allergens include pollen, pet dander, makeup, dust mites, and perfume.
