Spring is finally here 🌸🌷🌼🌿
April showers bring May flowers… but they also bring allergy eyes 👀🤧💧
At Halsted Eye Boutique and Eye See Ravenswood, we see it every year, itchy, watery, red eyes caused by pollen, dust, and changing weather 🌬️🌾
Here’s how to keep your eyes comfortable this season:
✨ What helps:
• Cold compresses to calm irritation ❄️😌
• Preservative-free artificial tears to flush out allergens 💧👁️
• Sunglasses to block pollen and wind 🕶️🌞
• Showering and changing clothes after being outdoors 🚿👕
• Allergy eye drops, we can help recommend the right ones for you 💊✔️
⚠️ What makes it worse:
• Rubbing your eyes, we know it’s tempting 😩👉👁️ but it increases inflammation 🔥
• Sleeping in contact lenses 😴🚫
• Wearing eye makeup too long or not replacing it regularly 💄⏳
• Skipping proper lens cleaning or hygiene 🧼❌
• Letting pollen build up on bedding, hair, and clothing 🌾🛏️
If your eyes are bothering you more than usual this spring, don’t just push through it, there are simple ways to feel better fast 💡💙
Stop by and let us help you see and feel your best this season 🌼👓✨
