What are Eye Allergies?

Eye allergies, also known as Allergic Conjunctivitis, are very common ocular conditions. They occur when the eye becomes irritated by allergens which leads to the production of histamines to combat the allergen. As a result the conjunctiva becomes red, itchy and swollen. If it's allergy season, you're likely to suffer. But don't fret. We can help you! Give us a call to schedule your appointment and we can discuss the best course of treatment for your condition.
