Contents of This CME Activity

    Different ocular allergic disorders share common symptoms, making it difficult to appropriately diagnose these conditions. To better distinguish these varying disorders, clinical presentations of ocular allergies are summarized as well as pathophysiologic mechanisms and new diagnostic methods, including applications of conjunctival provocation tests, multiplex bead immunoassays to measure cytokines in tear samples, and confocal microscopy.
