Understanding Severe Eye Allergies

What it is:

Eye allergies, or allergic conjunctivitis, occur when allergens trigger an immune response in the eyes, leading to irritation, inflammation, and discomfort. These can be seasonal, tied to pollen and environmental changes, or year-round, caused by indoor allergens like pet dander and dust mites. Systemic allergies can also manifest in the eyes

When to Seek Care:

Contact us immediately if you experience severe eye itching or redness, significant eyelid swelling, persistent burning or tearing, sudden vision changes, or symptoms that resist treatment or worsen over time.

How We Help:

Dr. Said will conduct a comprehensive allergy evaluation, including a detailed symptom history, trigger identification, and an eye examination to assess irritation and inflammation. Treatment aims for immediate relief using options like antihistamine eye drops, anti-inflammatory medications, lubricating drops, or cold compress therapy. For severe cases, advanced treatments such as prescription-strength medications, mast cell stabilizers, specialized combination therapies, oral antihistamines, or short courses of steroid therapy may be used. We also focus on long-term management and prevention.
