As the seasons change, do your eyes become irritated and watery? These signs and symptoms could indicate that you have seasonal allergies. Flowers are blooming and weather patterns in the area are changing, making spring a common period for these symptoms to appear.
Pollen is one of the most common allergens in the United States. While pollen is harmless for most people, the immune system interprets it as a danger and reacts accordingly. Drippy noses, sneezing, and itchy eyes are all attempts by the immune system to rid the body of the microbes.
If your symptoms last after spring has already passed, and especially if they intensify, it could be a sign of a more serious eye condition.
There is a solution that can alleviate or eliminate your seasonal allergy symptoms altogether. When it comes to treatment alternatives, an eye doctor can be a valuable resource. The most efficient method to ensure that you can get relief from your symptoms is to get a diagnosis and treatment plan.
