Here at the office of Dr. Chris DiGiorgio, the number one
Mamaroneck eye doctor, some of the most common issues that we treat in our patients are ocular allergies. Ocular allergies occur when there is something causing an allergic reaction and irritating the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is the delicate membrane that is responsible for covering and protecting the eye and the inside of the eyelid. Just like all allergies in general, an ocular allergy occurs because your immune system identifies something that may be harmless as an intruder that needs to be attacked.

Some examples of resulting symptoms from the overreaction of your immune system, when it comes to ocular allergies, include: red eyes, itchy eyes, excess tearing, pain in the eyes, swollen eyes, and more. Allergic reactions can occur as a result of any number of triggers. The most common kinds of allergies are seasonal, meaning that the eyes are affected by pollen and mold spores in the air. If you experience ocular allergy symptoms only during specific symptoms, then you may be a seasonal allergy sufferer. On the other hand, if your eyes are constantly red, itchy, and tearing, you may be triggered by indoor allergens, such as pet dander or dust mites. If you think you may have ocular allergies, try to pay close attention to your surroundings when your symptoms flare up to help our
Mamaroneck eye doctor get a better idea of what is triggering your allergies and how to treat them. Dr. DiGiorgio can give you the expert advice you need as well as specific treatments designed to relieve your symptoms.
