Allergic Conjunctivitis Treatment
The best treatment is avoiding exposure to the cause or allergen; unfortunately, this is not often practical. Discomfort can be relieved by applying cool compresses to the eyes or taking oral antihistamine preparations (many of these are available over-the-counter).
For episodes unrelieved by the above, treatment by the health care provider may be necessary. This may include:
- Administering topical ophthalmic antihistamine or anti-inflammatory drops
- Administering mild topical ophthalmic steroid preparations for severe reactions
