Examining Ocular Allergy, Quality of Life

Marcony R Santhiago

Ocular allergy is an inflammatory reaction of the surface of the eye to particles (allergens) in the environment. It is quite common and affects people of all ages. Inflammation can be asymptomatic, or cause dramatic symptoms, and in severe cases, severe loss of vision. Also called allergic conjunctivitis or ocular allergy, eye allergy occurs when something you are allergic to irritates the conjunctiva. This is the delicate membrane covering the eye and the inside of the eyelid.
