June in Mandan brings warmer weather, blooming plants, wind, and more time outdoors. For many people, it also brings irritated eyes. The tricky part is knowing whether your symptoms are from seasonal allergies or dry eye. Both can cause redness, watering, burning, and discomfort, but they are not the same condition. At Vision Source Mandan, we help patients identify the cause of their symptoms and find the right dry eye treatment or allergy-related eye care for lasting relief.
