New drug treatment for ocular allergy.
There is now a broad range of antihistamines and mast cell inhibitors, launched or in development, for use in ocular allergy. Recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of ocular allergy paves the way for the development of drugs to replace topical steroids, including cytokine-based therapy and drugs which antagonize the effects of T-cells, in severe, sight-threatening disease.
