Developments in ocular allergy
Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2004The goal of this article is to evaluate developments in the knowledge of inflammatory mechanisms and treatments of ocular allergy.Research developments in ocular allergy summarized in this article include the following findings: (1) ocular epithelial cells play a role in inflammation; (2) respiratory syncytial virus is a pathogen in allergic ...

To elaborate and review the immunologic spectrum of the five basic types of ocular allergy.Perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC) appears to be an extension of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) based on the similarity of clinical symptoms and the immune mechanism involved. T helper type 2 (TH2)-type cytokines, increased ratio of TH1/TH2 cytokines

Nonpharmacologic interventions are commonly used as first-line treatment of ocular allergy and include avoidance, cold compresses, lubrication, and the use of disposable daily contact lenses. Pharmacologic management of ocular allergy has increased exponentially over the past decade.

Classification of ocular allergy
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2007The purpose of this article is to summarize the clinical presentations associated with the classification of ocular allergy. This article also serves to summarize recent findings of pathophysiological mechanisms associated with ocular allergy and to highlight recently improved diagnostic methods for ocular allergic inflammation.The term allergic ...

The Treatment of Ocular Allergy
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1958Prerequisites for the successful manage ment of allergic reactions of the eye are: (1) recognition that an allergy is present; (2) the proper classification of the allergic mechanism involved; and (3) the discovery, if possible, of the sensitizing substance. On many occasions, because ocular allergies often resemble inflammations of nonallergic origin,

Pharmacology of ocular allergy
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2006To evaluate the pharmacology of current drug development directed towards ocular allergy. Increased worldwide prevalence of ocular allergy has stimulated expansion of management strategies towards physiologic and immunologic drug targets.Present drug targets are located in the conjunctival mucosal surface at the initial site of allergen exposure ...

The prevalence of ocular allergy clearly is underappreciated and has been under diagnosed and undertreated. The ocular symptoms associated with the most common ocular allergy conditions, such as seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis, are twice as likely to affect the allergy sufferer rather than nasal symptoms alone. The differential diagnosis

The management of ocular allergy
Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 1993There is a broad spectrum of ocular allergy. In the mild forms it is no more than an inconvenience, but severe forms such as eczematous kerato-conjunctivitis can be sight-threatening. However, with proper understanding of the diseases and constructive management, most patients can be satisfactorily controlled.

Abstract The eye may be the target of allergic inflammation in a large number of systemic immunologic conditions. Ocular signs and symptoms can often be the most striking and disabling aspects of such diseases. The eye is also affected by several local conditions in which immunologic mechanisms are thought to play a significant role.

Recent developments indicate that ocular allergy is more than an IgE-mediated allergic conjunctivitis. Ocular allergy is a disease affecting the entire ocular surface including conjunctiva, lids, cornea, lacrimal gland and tear film. Besides an IgE-mediated reaction, a complex chronic inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of many ocular ...
