Local specific immunotherapy combined with sodium cromoglycate eye drops significantly improved seasonal allergic conjunctivitis symptoms. This treatment offers a promising alternative for managing ocular allergy compared to standard care.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Allergology
  • Immunotherapy

Background:

  • Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) is a common ocular condition causing significant discomfort.
  • Current treatments often provide only symptomatic relief.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of local specific immunotherapy (LIT) in patients with SAC.
  • To compare LIT plus sodium cromoglycate with sodium cromoglycate alone.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 40 SAC patients.
  • Group 1: Sodium cromoglycate + saline placebo eye drops.
  • Group 2: Sodium cromoglycate + LIT eye drops.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in subjective and objective symptoms after 1 year in the LIT group.

  • Positive changes in cytological findings were observed in the LIT group.
  • LIT plus sodium cromoglycate demonstrated superior outcomes compared to placebo.

    • Conclusions:

    • Local specific immunotherapy is an effective treatment for seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
    • Combining LIT with sodium cromoglycate enhances therapeutic benefits for ocular allergy.
