This chapter deals with the common forms of ocular surface allergies, affecting the conjunctiva and cornea. The conjunctiva is usually the primary tissue affected, with the cornea suffering secondary effects that can be sight threatening. Allergic conjunctivitis is extremely common; it is estimated that 15–20% of the adult population will have at least

The prevalence of ocular allergy is clearly underappreciated; it has been an underdiagnosed and undertreated area in primary care medicine. The ocular symptoms associated with the most common ocular allergy conditions,such as seasonal and perennial AC, are twice as likely to affect the allergy sufferer as nasal symptoms alone.

Allergic eye disease is a bilateral immune-mediated process of the ocular surface that occurs in up to 25 % of the population of developed countries. Four entities are described as having at least in part some portion of their pathogenesis emanating from mast cell activation: seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC), atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC ...

Topical tacrolimus for allergic eye diseases
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2019Purpose of review The spectrum of allergic eye diseases includes a variety of conditions, each characterized by complex immunopathologies. Antiallergic drugs, such as antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers, are often insufficient without concomitant topical corticosteroid treatment.

Therapeutic Targets in Allergic Eye Disease
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 2001The objective of this article is to provide an overview of the present state of treatment of ocular allergy. Immuno-ophthalmology arose in the portion of this past century when investigators uncovered the uniqueness of the lens proteins and that it could induce an immunological response otherwise know as phacoanaphylaxis.

Allergic eye disease – a clinical challenge
Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1998Currently, six basic allergic eye diseases are recognized. In seasonal (SAC) and perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC), the allergic response is mediated predominantly by mast cells, whereas the more severe conditions, vernal (VKC) and atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) and giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC), are associated with a preponderance of T

The management of allergic eye diseases in primary eye care
Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2009Allergy is an over-reaction of the body's immune system to innocuous foreign substances or allergens that the body perceives as a potential threat or undesirable. It is estimated to affect approximately 20% of the population. Of this subset at least 20% suffer from ocular allergy.

Topical immunomodulators in the management of allergic eye diseases
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2014Allergic eye diseases comprise a spectrum of diseases, with each condition being characterized by a complex immunopathology. The more severe and chronic conditions, such as vernal keratoconjunctivitis and atopic keratoconjunctivitis, involve predominantly mast cells and eosinophils, while also being associated with a preponderance of T cells.
