Eye allergies in Marine Park

Eye specialist Marine Park

Eye allergies originate as a response of your immune system to a health threat of some kind. In fact, that refers to all allergies, including those in the nose and of the skin. Eye allergies can be responsible for frustration, misery, and a temporary impact on your vision. Here at Brook Plaza Ophthalmology, it is our priority to assess your allergic condition and provide the needed relief with the most appropriate treatment.

About one in five people are affected by eye allergies and the common symptoms such as burning and watery eyes, redness, itching, and swollen eyelids. Sometimes, nasal symptoms are present, too. Turn to our eye specialist Marine Park for expert medical care. There are quite a few medications that are designed to address eye allergies, but it's important to identify the right one; the one that is likely to give you the kind of results you want, without undue side effects. Depending on the severity of your allergies, you may need more than regular strength medication. Our eye specialist Marine Park can prescribe a more potent one. There are lifestyle adjustments you should consider, as well. Keep windows closed when the pollen count is high. If you're too warm that way, use an air-conditioner instead. Avoid rubbing your eyes. It may feel better initially, but you will only end up worsening the situation. Bedding materials often harbor allergens. Wash them is water of at least 130 degrees. And mattresses also accumulate allergens. If yours is old, consider replacing it. And look into obtaining allergen resistant bedding. What you should not do is continue to suffer with your eye allergies, and simply wait them out.

Our eye specialist Marine Park does not want you to be uncomfortable any longer than absolutely necessary, so contact our office right away to set up an appointment.
