As spring arrives, so do seasonal allergies—and for many, that means uncomfortable itchy, red, and watery eyes. But you don’t have to suffer through allergy season.
Allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander can trigger eye irritation, leading to:
• Redness and swelling
• Watery, teary eyes
• Itching and burning sensation
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Wear sunglasses to reduce exposure to airborne allergens
• Use daily disposable contact lenses to avoid buildup
• Rinse eyes with preservative-free artificial tears
• Book an eye exam to discuss allergy-friendly treatments
Don’t let allergies ruin your spring. Find relief and keep your eyes happy this season.
