Where should i go for my allergies or pink eye? Pearl Vision?


Any advice would be real nice. So far i have gone to three small eye doctors about my eye allergies or pink eye and none have helped at all. I'm thinking about going to pearl vision but i have a feeling their just going to get me to buy glasses, even though i have a pair already and get me out the door.

It seems like all small eyes doctors just want to charge insurance and get me out as quick as possible. Here is my story.

I went to the first one a year ago when i first starting developing symptoms. He was an optometrist, he did a full exam using the equipment and had me read an eye chart. At the end he prescribed reading glasses, i caught him several times on scottrade's website while examining me. A month later in my investments class i found out what scottrade was and i realized he was checking his stocks while examining me. At the end i asked him about one vein i had in my eye at the moment, he said it was inflamed conjunctiva and some more doctor jargon then i left. I'm mad to this day that i allowed him to charge my insurance for the glasses that i never wear.

The second eye doc i went to was an ophthalmologist, a glaucoma specialist to be exact. This was about 6 months ago. She did a full exam as the doc i went to before. I asked her about the veins which were worse. LOL, she said she doesn't see any veins and that only i can see them. I asked her if she was sure about that, she looked again and handed me a elestate sample and a prescription without saying anything else and told me come back in a year.

The third doc i went to was real nice, he was an optometrist. At this point i had to pay for my exam because my insurance wouldn't cover it and my eyes were much redder. He did a full exam, he even used his new toy that should a picture of the nerves in my eye and matches it to a database of healthy eyes. Anyway at the end, i asked him about my veins. He said "We live in New York, the air is dirty, the veins are carrying more blood to your eyes" I saw his eyes were full of veins but the veins in eyes. I realized that the veins in his eyes didn't look quite like the ones i have.

I'm not sure where should i go now.

Symptoms
My left eye has a lot of tiny veins on both sides and now my right eye is started to get them.

My left eyes itches and it also my top corner eyelid is always twitching now.

When the veins first starting appearing in my right eye, the corner near my tear duct was throbbing incredibly hard.

My left eye always feels like there is something in it. I use to wake up in the morning and the vision in my left eye would be blurry and i then realized there was some clear mucus in my eye. That has stopped now.

If you suspect you have allergies, then you should be seeing an allergist or an immunologist. Pearle vision is not going to help. If you do have an infection, they can prescribe antibiotic ointment. If you have allergy to sulfa drugs, be sure to mention this as those are the most commonly prescribed for eye infection. As far as the twitching, that can be caused by a nutritional deficiency in calcium. Up your daily dosage of calcium and see if that twitch doesn't go away.
As far as allergy eyes, it is important that you see an allergist or immunologist for proper testing. They can't help you until they determine what is causing the allergic reaction. The eye doctor is not trained to do this type of testing....that is why they have been no help. Especially the optician, because they only can fit you with glasses or contacts, they are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe tests or medications. If your symptoms are worse in the morning, it could possibly be allergy to dust mite. That is a common symptom of dust mite allergy and it is pretty easily controlled. If you want to learn more I'll give you a couple of links....but start with the allergist!

I dunno, but I always use sea salt water in my eye. it has to be pretty warm to dissolve the salt.Instantly relieves any redness or itchiness.and kills bacteria or fungus.
