I agree but, the same can be said for MS --- don't automatically assume it's MS.

Dry, itchy, red and feeling like something is in your eyes, in my family, IS allergy related. My son, who is the one with the worst eye symptoms has had allergy testing. My daughter as well as my husband have allergy eyes and for myself, I've had allergy eyes since I was a kid.

All 4 of us have regular check-ups with an Opthamologist but it's our PCP who treats our allergy eyes.
