Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) is a frequent disease, which is often associated with allergic rhinitis and subsequently manifested as allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. In contrast to other types of chronic allergic conjunctivitis, the course of SAC is not sight-threatening. Pathogenetically, the underlying cause of SAC is an immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated, Th2-driven type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. Clinically it presents with itching, light-red conjunctival injection as well as chemosis that exceeds the extent of conjunctival injection. The goals of treatment are relief of acute signs and symptoms, control of the underlying inflammatory process and utilization of preventive options. Dually effective local therapeutics combine the advantages of rapid action with a relatively long-lasting effect by a two-fold active approach. Specific immunotherapy is useful in selected patients.
