Soothe irritation. Restore comfort.

Allergy and Ocular Surface Disease:
Finding Relief for Irritated Eyes

Itchy, red, watery eyes aren’t just uncomfortable — they can also disrupt your daily life. Whether caused by seasonal allergies or chronic ocular surface disease, persistent eye irritation is a sign your eyes need attention. The good news? Relief is possible with the right diagnosis and targeted treatment plan.

What Causes Eye Allergies and Surface Disease?

The surface of your eyes is delicate, and exposure to allergens like pollen, dust, pet dander, and environmental irritants can trigger a cascade of uncomfortable symptoms. In some cases, these symptoms are part of a larger issue known as ocular surface disease, a condition where the protective tear film and outer layer of the eye become inflamed or dysfunctional.

Common Symptoms Include:

 Itching and burning
 Excessive tearing or watery eyes
 Redness and swelling
 Sensitivity to light
 A gritty or sandy sensation

Dr. Belgrave performs thorough diagnostic evaluations to pinpoint the true cause of your discomfort, whether it’s allergies, dry eye, or an underlying inflammatory condition. From there, he customizes a treatment plan that may include:

 Prescription anti-allergy or anti-inflammatory drops
 Recommendations to limit exposure to triggers
 Treatments to improve tear film stability and eye surface health
 Long-term strategies to manage flare-ups
