conditions associated with an immunoglobulin E (IgE) hypersensitivity reaction including: Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis — occurs periodically and is associated with seasonal allergens (such as tree and grass pollen). Perennial allergic conjunctivitis — associated with non-seasonal environmental allergens often found in the home (such as house dust mites, mould spores or animal dander). Vernal keratoconjunctivitis — commonest and most severe in hot arid environments (such as the Mediterranean, West (...) Africa and India). Atopic keratoconjunctivitis — severe and usually associated with atopic dermatitis of the eyelids. Giant papillary conjunctivitis — also has a mechanical component and can occur as a result of chronic micro-trauma (for example from contact lens wear, ocular prostheses or ocular sutures). In most cases (excluding vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis) conjunctivitis does not cause permanent visual loss or structural damage. The most consistent clinical feature of allergic

It was first described by Arlt in 1846 who reported 3 cases of perilimbal swelling in young patients. The association with springtime (vernal) reflects the seasonal increase in signs and symptoms of the condition, particularly the high prevalence in hot, arid environments.

Component-resolved diagnostics in vernal conjunctivitis. Conventional diagnostic tests in allergy are insufficient to clarify the origin of vernal conjunctivitis (VC).To evaluate IgE-mediated hypersensitivity by component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) in tears and serum from patients with VC and to evaluate how to treat patients with identified triggering allergens by specific immunotherapy.Patients were divided into 3 groups: (1) patients with VC (25 patients), (2) patients allergic to grass pollen (...) with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (AC) (50 patients), and (3) healthy blood donors (50 patients). If triggering allergens were detected, specific conventional immunotherapy was administered for 1 year.Twenty-five patients with VC were evaluated. The identified triggering allergens were n Lol p 1 (11 patients), n Cyn d 1 (8 patients), group 4 and 6 grasses (6 patients), and group 5 grasses (5 patients). Prick test and pollen IgE test results were positive in one patient. Clinical improvement was observed

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic allergic conjunctivitis that is most often seen in young, males. Although most types of allergic conjunctivitis do not affect vision, VKC is unusual in that damage to the cornea from the condition can result in vision loss. Although it is typically seasonal, year-round symptoms can be seen, which can lead to uncertain diagnoses being made. Although the pathophysiology of VKC is better understood in recent years, allowing

and not overly difficult to diagnose and treat when associated with rhinitis leading to allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. An ophthalmologist should be consulted when conjunctivitis occurs alone and if another form of conjunctivitis is suspected, such as perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC), vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) or atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC). When IgE-mediated hypersensitivity assessment does not establish aetiological diagnosis a conjunctival allergen provocation test (CAPT) can (...) Diagnosing and managing allergic conjunctivitis in childhood: the allergist's perspective. Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) in childhood often poses problems of diagnosis and management for the allergist. We present the salient points concerning the diagnosis and treatment of ocular allergy (OA) emerging from a large cohort survey conducted jointly in the departments of ophthalmology and paediatric allergy in a French teaching hospital. Seasonal acute conjunctivitis (SAC) is a common disorder
