Fall: Allergy Season!

The first day of Fall is right around the corner, much to the chagrin of allergy suffers everywhere. Beautifully canopied trees, clear blue skies, crisp clean air... full of dust, ragweed and pollen.

This can present many problems for the contact lens wearer. Itchy, red, watery and generally irritated eyes can make daily living quite unpleasant. Contact lenses can aid this irritation by accumulating debris on and around the lens surface, further irritating the ocular area.

Although eye drops and rinsing/washing can provide the eyes a certain amount of relief, Premium Intraocular Lenses (IOL) circumvent the complications of daily contact lens use. At Christenbury Eye Center we offer some of the latest IOL technology, such as the AcrySof ReSTOR® Premium IOL. With ReSTOR®, 99% of patients could see well enough to drive a car without their glasses or contacts!

So as the Fall allergy season approaches, consider whether or not it's worth it to deal with the nuisance your contact lenses can become. Perhaps it's time to upgrade to Premium IOL lenses. And perhaps it's time to book your free consultation with Christenbury Eye Center!
