How to Deal With Dry Eyes & Allergies

April 18, 2015

Everyone experiences occasional eye discomfort.  But if your eyes frequently burn, water, itch or feel gritty, you may be experiencing symptoms of dry eye disease.  Over time, symptoms of dry eyes may get worse and lead to damage on the front surface of the eye.  It can also impact your vision, making everyday activities like driving or working on a computer more difficult.  Allergens such as pollen, dust, and pet dander can add to ocular discomfort and lead to a vicious cycle of dryness and itching.

Fortunately, Dr. Kreutzer can provide treatment options to help manage dry eye signs and symptoms.  To help us determine the significance of your dry eye symptoms, complete this questionnaire and bring it with you to your next appointment.  We are happy to discuss with you the nature of your dry eye complications and recommend various treatment options.  And, did you know that dry eye and allergy eye evaluations and management are covered by your health insurance carrier?
