Is Spring a Season When Eye Conditions Frequently Occur?

Is Spring a Season When Eye Conditions Frequently Occur?

Yes, many eye conditions tend to flare up in the spring due to seasonal allergies. Common irritants during this time include fine dust and yellow dust, which can cause eye stinging, redness, and dry eye symptoms. These environmental factors can exacerbate dry eye, especially in individuals already prone to it.

Is It Safe to Undergo Vision Correction Surgery in the Spring?

If there’s any inflammation in the cornea or conjunctiva before surgery, it will be treated first before proceeding. In patients with healthy corneas, undergoing surgery does not typically worsen allergic symptoms.

SMILE LASIK patients usually use anti-inflammatory eye drops for 2–3 weeks, while LASEK patients use them for 2–3 months. These drops not only aid in recovery but also help prevent allergic conjunctivitis.

Some patients worry that undergoing surgery in spring may trigger severe allergies. However, because anti-inflammatory drops are consistently used during the healing period, allergic flare-ups right after surgery are rare.

Regardless of the season, it’s important to use artificial tears and prescribed medications regularly after surgery to maintain stable tear function and minimize irritation caused by environmental factors.

Is There a Difference in Dry Eye Symptoms Among SMILE, LASIK, and LASEK Surgeries?

Yes, there is. While LASIK and LASEK both involve affecting the corneal surface and nerves—potentially worsening dry eye symptoms—SMILE LASIK is less invasive to the corneal nerves. Therefore, SMILE is generally more favorable for patients who already have dry eyes or unstable tear function.
