Abstract:
The surge in environmental pollution is contributing to a growing prevalence of Allergic Conjunctivitis, particularly impacting children and young adults. Globally, conjunctivitis is a widespread condition encountered in ophthalmology clinics. When dealing with suspected cases of conjunctivitis, it is crucial to consider alarming signs of more severe intraocular disorders, such as intense discomfort, blurred vision, and painful pupillary reactions. Detection of conjunctival involvement in a systemic disease relies on concurrent physical examination findings and relevant medical history. Viral conjunctivitis remains the most common underlying cause, ranking second after bacterial conjunctivitis as the leading cause of infectious conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis, affecting approximately half of the population, manifests with symptoms like itching, mucoid discharge, chemosis, and eyelid edema. Prolonged use of preservative-containing eye drops may lead to toxic conjunctivitis. Accurate etiological differentiation, timely diagnosis, and appropriate treatment are integral aspects of conjunctivitis care. Homeopathic medicines prove to be both safe and effective in treating Allergic Conjunctivitis, not only alleviating its signs and symptoms but also reducing the patient's allergic susceptibility.
