Expert Care for Eye Allergies and Ocular Surface Disease:
Finding Relief for Irritated Eyes
Itchy, red, watery eyes aren’t just uncomfortable — they can interfere with your work, sleep, and overall well-being. Whether your symptoms stem from seasonal allergies, allergic conjunctivitis, or chronic ocular surface disease, persistent irritation is your body’s signal that your eyes need care. The good news? Relief is within reach with an expert diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan designed for long-term eye comfort.
What Causes Eye Allergies & Ocular Surface Disease?
The surface of your eyes is delicate and easily affected by allergens like pollen, dust, pet dander, and environmental irritants. When exposed, your eyes may react with a variety of symptoms that range from mild discomfort to severe irritation.
Sometimes these symptoms are signs of eye allergies, but they can also indicate ocular surface disease, a condition where the protective tear film and outer layer of the eye become inflamed, destabilized, or dysfunctional. In some cases, conditions like allergic conjunctivitis — an allergic reaction affecting the conjunctiva — can further complicate the health of your eyes.
Common Symptoms Include:
Itching and burning sensations (commonly known as itchy eyes) Excessive tearing or watery eyes Redness and swelling around the eyes Sensitivity to light A gritty, sandy, or foreign body sensation Blurred vision due to tear film instability
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms regularly, it’s essential to have a comprehensive eye exam to determine whether eye allergies, allergic conjunctivitis, or another form of ocular surface disease is the underlying cause.

Prescription anti-allergy or anti-inflammatory drops Recommendations for limiting exposure to common allergens and irritants Treatments to improve tear film stability and ocular surface health Ongoing strategies to prevent flare-ups and manage chronic symptoms of eye allergies
