Eye Allergies

Eye allergies, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, occur when the eyes react to allergens, leading to symptoms such as itching, tearing, burning, or redness. These symptoms are commonly triggered by airborne allergens like pollen, dust, mold, or pet dander. Eye allergies can range from mild irritation to more severe discomfort that affects daily activities. At Revere Health, we provide effective diagnosis and treatment for eye allergies to help patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Common Symptoms of Eye Allergies
Itching: A persistent sensation that often leads to rubbing the eyes, which can worsen symptoms.
Tearing: Excessive watering of the eyes, often caused by irritation from allergens.
Redness: Blood vessels in the eyes may become inflamed, causing the eyes to appear red.
Burning Sensation: A feeling of heat or discomfort in the eyes.
Swelling: In some cases, the eyelids or the area around the eyes may become swollen.

Common Triggers
Pollen: A seasonal allergen that can cause flare-ups during spring, summer, or fall.
Dust and Mold: Indoor allergens that can trigger eye allergies year-round.
Pet Dander: Proteins from the skin, saliva, or urine of pets can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Perfumes or Smoke: Irritants such as strong scents or smoke can exacerbate symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Treatment Options
Antihistamine Eye Drops: These medications help reduce itching, redness, and swelling caused by allergic reactions.
Cold Compresses: Applying a cold compress to the eyes can help soothe itching and reduce inflammation.
Avoidance of Triggers: Identifying and minimizing exposure to allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander can help reduce symptoms.
Oral Antihistamines: In some cases, oral medications may be recommended to control allergy symptoms.
