Background and Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 0.2% olopatadine and to compare olopatadine 0.1%, ketotifen 0.025% and emadastine 0.05% in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Methods: In this retrospectively designed study, we investigated the files of patients who had been diagnosed with perineal or seasonal allergic conjunctivitis in the teaching hospital of Maltepe University between April 2017 and July 2017. We divided the patients into four groups. The patients in each group had similar symptoms and scores before medication. The first, second, third and fourth groups were prescribed olapatadine 0.1%, olopatadine 0.2%, ketotifen 0.025% and emedastine 0.05%, respectively. We evaluated the symptoms and signs of the patients on the 15th day after treatment, and compared the results between the groups. Results: We investigated the files of 80 patients. There were 20 patients in each group. We evaluated the symptoms and finding scores after treatment. The symptoms and findings of allergic conjunctivitis had improved in all the four groups. There was no difference in the treatment responses between the four groups. Conclusion: Olopatadine 0.2%, olopatadine 0.1%, ketotifen 0.025% and emedastine 0.05% were all equally effective in improving the signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.

Ocular allergy is recognized as a heterogeneous collection of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and noneIgE-mediated diseases. IgE-mediated ocular allergies include seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, perennial allergic conjunctivitis, 1 vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and atopic keratoconjunctivitis. NoneIgE-mediated ocular allergies and hypersensitivities include contact blepharoconjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis, irritative conjunctivitis, and blepharitis.The following 4 cardinal symptoms characterize ocular allergies: redness, itchiness, swelling, and watering (tearing), with several symptoms overlapping with dry eye disease.Allergological workup (skin prick testing, serum-specific IgE measurements, conjunctival provocation testing, and patch testing) is helpful in confirming a causative allergic mechanism.Newer topical corticosteroid formulations such as loteprednol have not been found to increase the risk of cataracts unlike older corticosteroids.Successful treatment usually involves a combination of avoidance of allergic triggers, medications (topical, oral, or both), and in some cases, allergy immunotherapy.

Conjunctivitis affects many people across the globe, significantly disturbing the quality of life of the people who are affected. Conjunctivitis can be divided into infectious and noninfectious causes. Viruses and bacteria are the most common infectious causes. Some of the most commonly diagnosed allergic diseases include atopic dermatitis, rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and sinusitis. Other conditions, such as eosinophilic oesophagitis, the prevalence of which is on the rise, are being diagnosed across all continents, except for Africa. Allergic conjunctivitis is an allergic disease characterised by inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by airborne allergens; it presents as itching, excessive lacrimation, discharge and pink eye. Usually it is associated with other allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. Allergic conjunctivitis is further divided into acute, seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) and perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC). Bacterial conjunctivitis, caused by bacterial and viral pathogens, may include three major categories: hyperacute bacterial conjunctivitis, acute conjuncitivis and chronic conjunctivitis. The diagnosis is primarily clinical. This article provides an overview of these conditions and their current management options.
