What Are Allergies?

Do you have, dry, irritated, or itchy eyes? You may have eye allergies, also known as allergic conjunctivitis. This is an incredibly common condition where allergens, or substances that trigger allergic reactions, make contact with the surface of your eyes and eyelids, causing symptoms like inflammation and redness. Allergies can be caused by seasonal allergens, like pollen or grass, or from year-round sources, such as dust, pet dander, mold, and smog.

Do You Have Eye Allergies?

Many people have allergies, and their effects on the eyes can range from mild to severe, depending on the case. Some of the most common symptoms of allergies are red, stinging, and itchy eyes, as well as puffy, inflamed eyelids. Interestingly, allergies can also leave your eyes feeling dry and watery, depending on how your eyes react and other factors like eyelid hygiene.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

When the oil-producing glands in your eyelids become clogged, it causes meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). This condition is a major cause of dryness and increases the risk of infection. We offer in-office IPL treatments to unclog these glands, reduce inflammation, and improve tear quality by using light to warm your eyelids and express your natural oils.

MiboFlo

Another MGD treatment we perform in-office that helps prevent eye infection is MiboFlo, also known as Mibo Thermoflo. This 10-minute procedure uses thermal pads to warm your eyelids to allow the necessary oils to flow out, leading to hydrated eyes and better tear retention.

Scleral Lenses

This type of contact lens is better at protecting your eyes from infection more than others. Scleral lenses cover the entire eye’s surface to shield it from bacteria and other harmful contaminants, while locking in healthy moisture with a tear reservoir. Scleral lenses have a host of other benefits, like being great for dry eye and sensitive corneas.
