目のかゆみ、アレルギーかも？
アレルギー性結膜炎による目のかゆみで受診される患者さんが最近増えています。雨季の為カビの発生が多くなる事や、この時期に咲き始める草花の影響も考えられます。かゆみの症状には通常、抗ヒスタミン入りの目薬が処方されますが、場合により抗ヒスタミン剤（飲み薬）やステロイドの目薬で治療する事もあります。
Hawaiian Eye Meeting 2018
Dr. Yamamoto and some of our stuff attended Hawaiian Eye Meeting in Maui, annual meeting held for ophthalmologists and supporting staff. We purchased new OCT-angiography machine last year and we were able to learn about this new technology to better serve our patients with retinal conditions. We also enjoyed the beaches in Wailea, sighting breaching humpback whales!
