Navigating Allergies: A Guide to Clear Eyes and Comfort

Seasonal allergies can be a pain. Whether you're sneezing constantly, dealing with an itchy throat, or trying to stop rubbing your itchy eyes, you're likely ready for relief. At Vision Plus in San Antonio, TX, our team is here to help you get the treatment you need to feel your best. Let's take a look at common triggers for seasonal eye allergies and how our team can help to alleviate your symptoms.

Common Seasonal Allergy Triggers

Sometimes, it can feel like allergies are triggered by everything, and it can be tough to pinpoint an exact cause. Keeping an eye out for triggers, however, can help practice preventative care and manage your allergies more easily.

Common triggers for allergies include:

●          Pollen

●          Smoke

●          Smog

●          Pet dander

●          Dust mites

Some allergens are avoidable, while others are tough to stay away from. Keeping your home as clean as possible and staying away from situations that trigger your allergies can help you experience more symptom-free days.

Eye Allergy Treatment

Seeing an optometrist is a smart first step to getting the help you need for your eye allergies. Sometimes, eye drops can help to alleviate certain symptoms, such as dry eye and itchy eyes. An eye doctor on our optometry team may recommend wearing glasses instead of contacts when your allergies are acting up, or may recommend over-the-counter allergy medication that allows you to find relief.
