Allergic Conjunctivitis

While spring and summer blooms signal the end of winter and often bring a sigh of relief to most patients, the occasional contact lens wearer may look to the changing season with apprehension.

The onset of summer brings about many seasonal allergies which can cause discomfort for contact lens wearers.  Symptoms range from mild irritation, redness, tearing, to intolerance of contact lenses.

The onset of these symptoms require an eye examination to determine the extent of ocular changes and to determine the appropriate treatment.  The ocular health evaluation ensures long term success for lens wearers.
