| Sumario: | The primary goal of this chapter is to discuss the nuanced but prevalent clinical presentation of the patient with concurrent diagnoses of dry eye and allergic conjunctivitis. First, we discuss the epidemiology of dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis. We briefly discuss allergic blepharoconjunctivitis, a closely related entity with a different treatment focus. We thereafter discuss novel therapies, including loteprednol, varenicline nasal spray, reproxalap, and drug-eluting daily disposable soft contact lens. Lastly, we discuss a few biologic agents that hold promise for vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis, two forms of allergic eye disease that are more aggressive and can result in severe vision loss. |
