Spring is here and so are allergies!
So what can you do to make yourself feel better during this beautiful time of year? Here are a few pointers:
1) Rinse your face and eyes after being outside.
2) Apply cold compresses on your eyes to reduce the inflammation.
3) Wash your hair at night so you are not rolling around in pollen during the night.
4) Use Alaway eye drops (over the counter) to helping with itching.
5) Switch to daily disposable contact lenses during allergy season. If all else fails, make an appointment so I can help manage your allergies year round.

According to one Arizona optometrist in Mesa, allergies can be seasonal (spring and fall), or they can happen when something irritating (allergen) invades your eyes, like cat dander or fumes. You may have an eye allergy if your eyes rapidly become red, watery and puffy. How your eyes are affected may depend on the time of year and type of plants you have in the area where you live. We Minnesotans tend to have lots of seasonal allergy problems in the spring and fall. But many people can also have year-round allergies because of dust mites, molds, etc.
