Struggling with Stubborn Eye Allergies? Find Relief Here!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

I empathize with the ongoing discomfort you're experiencing due to your persistent eye allergy. It appears that you've taken some commendable steps in attempting to manage your symptoms, such as opting for hypoallergenic makeup and utilizing eye tear drops. However, it is disheartening to hear that these measures have not yielded the desired relief.

Allergies can be triggered by a multitude of factors, ranging from pollen and dust to pet dander and even certain dietary components. While your efforts to mitigate potential allergens through makeup and eye drops are commendable, it is possible that the underlying cause of your allergy lies beyond these factors.

In light of this, I strongly advise you to seek further medical evaluation and assistance from either an allergist or an ophthalmologist. These specialists possess the expertise and resources to conduct a comprehensive examination and potentially allergy testing to pinpoint the specific triggers contributing to your condition. Based on their assessment, they may recommend tailored treatments such as antihistamine eye drops, oral antihistamines, or other therapeutic interventions to alleviate your symptoms effectively.

In the interim, I recommend refraining from rubbing your eyes, as this can exacerbate irritation. Additionally, applying a cool compress to your eyes may aid in reducing inflammation and alleviating itching sensations.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require further clarification or assistance. Your well-being is our utmost priority, and we are committed to supporting you on your journey towards optimal health.

Thanks
