The differences between both eye discomforts
The bone-chilling days of winter are behind us and spring is in bloom.
This season brings fresh flowers, green grass and the not so exciting seasonal springtime allergies. For some, more plants in bloom mean more allergens swirling into the air. Are you noticing a change in your eyes this spring? Is it dry eye or allergies? Here’s how to tell the difference:
| Seasonal Allergies: | Dry Eye: |
| Itchy eyes | Painful, scratchy eyes |
| Redness | Redness may or may not be present |
| Puffiness | Stinging and burning sensation |
| Leaking and watery eyes | Feeling of chronic dryness |
| Accompanied by sinus problems | Accompanied by light sensitivity or blurred vision |
