Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions regarding allergic conjunctivitis:

1. Do my symptoms indicate conjunctivitis that is allergy-related?
   
   
2. What methods will you use to determine if I have allergic conjunctivitis?
   
   
3. Would I benefit from allergy skin or blood testing?
   
   
4. What allergen is triggering my reaction?
   
   
5. What treatments are available to me? How effective are they?
   
   
6. When can I expect my symptoms to subside?
   
   
7. Am I a candidate for allergy shots?
   
   
8. Am I likely to develop allergic conjunctivitis again?
   
   
9. How can I lower my risk of having a reaction?
   
   
10. Can I continue to wear contact lenses?
    
    
11. Am I at any risk for potential complications? Is my vision in danger?
