If your eyes constantly feel irritated, look red, or start tearing up out of nowhere, you’re not alone. Allergies affect millions of Americans—and for many in Florida, eye symptoms are one of the most disruptive parts. At Ciambrone Vision, we understand how uncomfortable and persistent eye allergies can be. That’s why we offer tailored treatments for eye allergy relief that go far beyond drugstore drops.
With locations inside Walmart Vision Centers in both Kissimmee and Lakeland, Dr. Andrew Ciambrone sees patients struggling with eye allergy symptoms every week. From seasonal pollen problems to reactions triggered by dust, pet dander, or mold, the key to lasting relief is identifying the source—and applying the right treatment.
What Are Eye Allergies?
Eye allergies, also called allergic conjunctivitis, occur when the eye reacts to an allergen—something harmless to most people but irritating to your immune system. When your eyes encounter a trigger, they release histamine, which leads to inflammation, redness, tearing, and itching.
Common eye allergy symptoms include:
- Itchy eyes that make you want to rub constantly
- Redness or bloodshot appearance
- Watery or teary eyes
- Swollen eyelids
- Burning or gritty sensation
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurry vision
While these symptoms might overlap with conditions like dry eye or pink eye, allergy-related irritation tends to affect both eyes and worsens in specific environments or seasons.
Treatment Options for Eye Allergy Relief
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. While over-the-counter drops can provide short-term comfort, they’re not always enough—and in some cases, they may even worsen symptoms. That’s why Dr. Ciambrone takes a personalized approach to diagnosing and treating eye allergies, beginning with a detailed patient history and exam.
Depending on your specific triggers and symptoms, we may recommend:
- Antihistamine or mast cell stabilizer eye drops for fast relief
- Prescription-strength lubricating drops to protect the eye’s surface
- Cold compresses to reduce swelling and irritation
- Avoidance strategies like air filters or allergen reduction tips for your home or work environment
- Ongoing management plans for patients with chronic or seasonal flare-ups
What sets us apart is our ability to provide on-the-spot diagnosis and treatment for patients across Kissimmee and Lakeland. Whether your allergies are new or recurring, our team can help you find lasting comfort—and reduce the chances of complications from excessive rubbing or inflammation.

FAQ: Allergy Eye Care in Kissimmee & Lakeland
1. What causes eye allergies in Florida?
Common triggers in Florida include pollen, mold, pet dander, dust mites, and seasonal plant allergens. These substances can cause eye irritation when they come into contact with the conjunctiva.
2. How can I tell if my red eyes are caused by allergies or something else?
Allergy-related red eyes often come with itching, watering, and affect both eyes. If you also have nasal symptoms or the irritation worsens outdoors, allergies are likely. A visit to Ciambrone Vision can confirm the cause with a proper exam.
3. Are over-the-counter allergy drops enough?
Some OTC drops offer short-term relief, but they may not treat the root of the problem. For persistent or severe symptoms, Dr. Ciambrone offers prescription-strength solutions tailored to your condition.
4. Can kids be treated for eye allergies at Ciambrone Vision?
Yes—Dr. Ciambrone sees patients as young as 5 and can provide allergy treatment plans that are safe and effective for children.
