It’s springtime! Kids are getting about school ending. Time for re-growth. We are emerging outdoors and fertilizing our lawns, planting flowers and enjoying the sun. We all enjoy the re-birth of plants, that is until the pollen count soars, and rain and snow increase mold, and that darn ragweed. Then we start sneezing and the itchy watery eyes. This is when contact lenses feel like they are rocks in your eyes with itching powder. We have lots of options to reduce seasonel discomfort. My personel favorite is living in a plastic bubble. I have found that people don’t feel comfortable around you, weird, actually there are better alternatives. Cold compresses relieve itching, wetting drops wash out airborn allergens, and sooth. There are both over the counter and prescription allergy drops. Often a combination is the most beneficial. Dr. Nunn and Dr. Himel can give you the best advice for your allergy eyes. Please call for an appointment or with questions. Now get outside and have fun!
