Spring is here, which means those pesky seasonal allergies might mess with your eyes. Dr. Rebecca Pitt-Jackson from Shopko Optical suggests that while those drugstore eye drops might help, they're just treating the symptoms. She advises getting an eye checkup to tackle any deeper issues with prescription meds. Keep those contacts clean or switch to disposables to avoid flare-ups from gunk buildup. If that doesn’t work, have your glasses handy to wear until things settle.
If your allergies seem to stick around beyond spring, it might be your home causing trouble. Your pillow could be a hotspot for allergens, so wash it and grab a hypoallergenic cover. And don't forget about your furry pals—pet dander and outdoor stuff they bring in can stir things up.
There’s a solution to all of this – book an appointment with the eyecare professionals at Shopko Optical by going to their website at Shopko Optical. They’ll help you get to the bottom of it and take care of your eyes year-round.
You can find Shopko Optical at 3075 North Reserve Street in Missoula or give them a call at 406-721-4646. They take most insurance plans and are open 9am-7pm on weekdays, 9am-3pm on Saturdays, and closed Sundays.
