New frontiers in allergy research: new research holds promise for patients suffering from ocular allergy. The focus: dryness, blocking the response and countering inflammation.(Allergy)
Nearly 20% of the U.S. population (approximately 50 million Americans) suffer from some form of allergy, so it's not surprising that research continues to focus on treatment options for these individuals.
Dry Eye Contributes To Allergic Response
Patients' natural tear production can help eradicate the allergic response. Tears act as a barrier, improving the eye's first line of defense. They dilute and ultimately flush the allergens and mediators from the eye. New evidence shows that tears, or the lack of tears as seen in dry eye syndrome (DES), may contribute to the propagation of the allergic response.
