This time of year, we see many patients with itchy, red, watery eyes. It is easy to assume it is allergies. However, dry eye can look very similar.

The difference matters because treatment depends on the cause. A comprehensive eye exam helps determine what is truly responsible for your symptoms and allows us to tailor a treatment plan.

If your eyes are uncomfortable this spring, schedule an appointment at Dr. Steven Rafalowsky, OD.
