Eye Allergy Testing

Allergy testing is performed by healthcare professionals to identify sensitivities and allergies that could be causing bothersome symptoms, such as persistent sneezing, coughing, headaches, or watery eyes.

There are various types of allergy testing available, including skin prick tests, blood tests, intradermal tests, and elimination diets. By undergoing allergy testing, you can gain a clearer understanding of your allergies and sensitivities, as well as receive targeted treatments to manage your symptoms effectively.

Eye Allergy Treatments

  • Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)

    Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is an allergy treatment that involves placing dissolvable tablets or liquid drops under the tongue to build long-term tolerance to specific allergens. Unlike traditional allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy), which require frequent in-office injections, SLIT can be safely self-administered at home after the initial dose is monitored by a specialist. It works by delivering gradual doses of an allergen into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the mouth, training the immune system to stop triggering severe allergic reactions.

  • Rinsada Ocular Surface Irrigation

    When you do not produce enough tears, your eyelid traps inflammation, pollutants and allergens onto your eyeball. Rinsada uses high flow irrigation to remove ocular surface biofilm and irritants underneath the eyelid and in the deep recess called the fornix where normal rinsing can not reach. Rinsada is an effective treatment for cleaning the entire ocular surface, providing patients with immediate and lasting relief from dry eye and eye allergies.
