If you woke up today (or a few days ago) with eye troubles, you may wonder if you should power through, try some home remedies, or go to an eye doctor. In most cases, you’re better off playing it safe by making an appointment with your optometrist even if you end up not needing treatment, you’ll receive peace of mind knowing that nothing is wrong, make an appointment with us! An optometrist can help identify the cause of red, itchy eyes to help you get on the path to relief. These symptoms together are often indicative of an allergy. Itchy eyes can be a sign that you are overwearing contact lenses or not changing them out for a fresh pair frequently enough. Blepharitis caused by bacteria or microscopic mites can also lead to itchy eyes and red, inflamed eyelids. Certain products such as face wash or lotions may also be to blame. Eye infections, such as pink eye (conjunctivitis), may also be the cause. If you’re experiencing red, itchy eyes outside of previously diagnosed seasonal allergies, it’s a good idea to schedule an eye exam.
