Ocular Allergies and symptoms at North Shore Eye Care
Seasonal allergies occur during certain times of the year from exposure to certain airborne substances (pollen), particularly the spring, summer, or fall—depending on the particular allergy. There are a few things that you can do to reduce your exposure to your allergy triggers. Limit your pets access to your bed as pollen sticks to animal fur. Dry windy days as mentioned before are worse than a good rainy day which helps remove pollen from the air. Checking local news or radio stations for pollen counts help as well. Its always recommended to use a micron allergy grade filter in the house ventilation system if applicable. We tend to advocate using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in the bedroom. Carpets unfortunately while much more comforting when you get out of bed on a cold winter morning, tend to carry a crop load of dust, dirt and various potential allergens. It is recommended that they be vacuumed and cleaned regularly.
