Many people mistakenly believe that you should only ever visit a family doctor/general practitioner to discuss allergies. However, this isn’t the case. While they may be able to perform a basic physical assessment and a general diagnosis, they don’t have the training and experience needed to carry out in-depth assessments. This may make it difficult for them to accurately diagnose eye allergies, and they could overlook other potential causes of your symptoms which could have more significant consequences for your eye health and vision.
