It’s that season again and allergy sufferers are indeed, suffering.  With your whole world in full bloom, I bet  these scenarios ring a bell...

  • Allergies run in the family. Come to think of it, your aunt did spend the duration of Sunday dinner recalling the play-by-play of her recent visit to the allergy specialist. Oi-vey!
  • You already know you’re allergic to cats… or dogs… or both… or everything in the history of ever.
  • You have been grumbling about itchy eyes for FOREVER. Watching the daily pollen forecast on the Weather Channel is almost a new hobby!
  • You've had Pink Eye (conjunctivitis) before. C’mon, it’s ok to admit it. Stuff happens.
  • All the pills all the drops... you feel like you are single-handedly keeping the antihistamine/decongestant industry afloat.
  • You avoid outside events. Your eyes are MUCH happier when you’re inside with the air on.
  • That guy at work who ALWAYS bathes in cologne? You can tell his relative position in the office, or the speed of his approach, by how watery your eyes get.

If these scenarios sound all too familiar, then there’s a solid chance you might have eye allergies.
