Ocular Allergies


Ocular Allergies

Ocular allergy is a common condition. The doctors at Sullivan Ostoich Eye Center can help patients relieve eye allergy symptoms.The eyes react when they come in contact with something they are allergic to. That can be mold, dust, pollen, and a host of other allergens.An allergic reaction can affect one or both eyes. It can cause redness, itching, and watery eyes. The strength of the allergic reaction, the length of time it lasts, and the amount of times it happens can be different for each person. Some people might find they have a strong reaction at one time, and a weaker reaction to the same allergen at another time.

Spring can be particularly hard on contact lens wearers, but ocular allergies can also make non-contact lens wearers miserable. When allergy symptoms kick in, patients usually visit the local drugstore to pick up a systemic antihistamine for relief. While these medications can clear up systemic symptoms like runny noses, sneezing and coughing, they can make ocular symptoms worse by reducing tear quantity and quality.
For patients who experience dry eye and ocular allergy problems this spring, our doctors have a number of very effective medications.

Treating ocular allergy symptoms is not the same for everyone. There are many factors that go into getting the right treatment for your symptoms. When you visit your us about your eye allergies it is important to accurately describe your symptoms so we can prescribe a topical medication that safely and efficiently relieves your symptoms.
