ALLERGIC SHINERS
Some allergy sufferers are known to develop dark circles under their eyes that resemble bruises or “black eyes.” These “allergic shiners” are a symptom of allergies particularly common among those who are prone to “allergic conjunctivitis,” which occurs when their eyes come in contact with an allergen. The dark circles are caused by congestion in the nasal passages and sinuses, which restricts blood drainage from these areas and causes small veins below the eyes to get wider and pool with blood. Treatment begins with avoiding the allergen that causes it, followed by taking antihistamine medication, decongestant nasal sprays, and decongestant eye drops. If needed, the anti-inflammatory montelukast can be prescribed, which reduces the inflammation caused by exposure to allergens. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., our services go beyond writing a prescription. The comprehensive eye exams we conduct not only determine our patients need for vision correction but offer early detection and treatment of eye diseases. To schedule an eye exam, please call 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

The other workshop focused on applying the skills identified and practiced with The Spice Man to collaboratively plan and create Fractured Fairy Tales. The 8th-grade students worked in groups to collaboratively plan, assemble, and design rockets. While their work appears to have paid off, the true assessment of their
