Allergic conjunctivitis is a prevalent ocular condition encountered frequently by ophthalmologists and cornea specialists, affecting up to 40% of the population. Despite its high prevalence, many affected individuals do not seek medical help, leading to underdiagnosis and undertreatment. Itching remains the hallmark sign, and treatment typically involves topical antihistamines and mast cell inhibitors.This activity provides clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of allergic conjunctivitis, encompassing its clinical presentation, immunological mechanisms, and therapeutic approaches. Through interactive discussions and the latest pharmacological insights, participants will gain valuable knowledge to optimize patient care and enhance outcomes in allergic conjunctivitis management. The importance of an interprofessional team approach is highlighted as learners explore the collaborative role of primary care providers, optometrists, and ophthalmologists in caring for patients with allergic conjunctivitis.
