Eye Allergies

Trichiasis

Trichiasis is a common problem with the eyelids. Eyelashes grow inward. The lashes rub against the cornea, the conjunctiva, and the inner surface of the eyelids. This irritates the eye. Trichiasis can occur occasionally with no known cause. Trichiasis can strike anyone, however, adults are more prone to it. Trichiasis is more likely to occur if […]

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Children under the age of 16 are more vulnerable to the inflammatory joint disease known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). JIA is an autoimmune disease. In JIA, white blood cells assault the body’s healthy joints (the cells that normally fight disease). The joints get inflamed as a result.  It can make walking difficult. Other typical […]
