Managing Ocular Allergies in Staten Island and East Brunswick

Understanding Ocular Allergies

Ocular allergies, also known as eye allergies or allergic conjunctivitis, are a common issue for residents of Staten Island, NY, and East Brunswick, NJ. These allergies occur when the eyes react to allergens such as pollen, pet dander, mold spores, or dust mites. Symptoms can range from mild irritation to severe discomfort that impacts daily life.

At Kung Eye Center, we understand how frustrating these symptoms can be. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating ocular allergies to help you enjoy clearer vision and greater comfort. 

Common Symptoms of Eye Allergies

The symptoms of ocular allergies can vary but often include:

• Itchy or watery eyes
• Redness and swelling
• Sensitivity to light
• A burning sensation
• Blurred vision

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional care. Dr. John S. Kung and his team offer advanced diagnostic tools like the FDA-approved Doctor’s Allergy Formula to identify the specific allergens affecting you.

Treatment Options for Ocular Allergies

Treatment begins with identifying and avoiding triggers whenever possible. Once your allergens are identified through testing at Kung Eye Center, we can create a personalized treatment plan that may include:

• Prescription eye drops or oral antihistamines
• Steroid eye drops for severe cases
• Behavioral and environmental modifications

Prevention Tips for Allergy Season

Preventing ocular allergies involves minimizing exposure to allergens. Here are some tips:

• Keep windows closed during high pollen periods.
• Use air conditioning instead of fans to reduce airborne allergens.
• Wear sunglasses outdoors to shield your eyes from pollen.
