Abstract

Dr. IKEDA

Ocular allergy is a common disorder affecting up to 20% population. Allergic eye diseases are important due to their chronic nature and refractory behaviour to most therapies. They affect over all quality of life and are a major cause of absence from school in children. They are often missed or may mimic other ocular surface pathologies and sometimes even infection. This may delay their diagnosis and management. In this interactive instruction course, we would present a series of cases that would depict the various common and uncommon manifestations of different types of allergic eye diseases. Topics would include seasonal, perennial, vernal, atopic and toxic keratoconjunctivits and their complications and sequelae. A stepwise algorithm approach will describe the medical and surgical management for each along with their complications. Eminent cornea surgeons from all over the country will share their experience.
