Abstract
Background: Among the allergic diseases witnessed over the last few decades, ocular allergy is one of the most common conditions. Many factors like pets, dust, pollen, grain exposure, air pollution play a role in allergies. Ocular allergy impairs the daily routine activities, and if left undertreated, it may progress to atopic keratoconjunctivitis, resulting in vision impairment. This study aimed to observe an association of dry eye in allergic conjunctivitis and management of allergic conjunctivitis cases reporting in tertiary health care Centre.
 Materials and Methods: This will be a cross sectional observational research conducted at AVBRH, Wardha. Baseline data of 85 enrolled patients will be collected after obtaining their informed written consent and all procedures will be explained to patients. Patients included in study will undergo Comprehensive ophthalmic examination, slit lamp examination, fundoscopy, tear break up time and Schirmer’s test with topical anaesthesia. Follow-up of all patients will be done at 1, 3, 6, and 8 weeks. Data on medical history, allergies, and lifestyle factors will be collected using a pretested standard questionnaire.
 Expected Results: Estimation of correlation between dry eye in allergic conjunctivitis and efficacy of different standard drugs in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.
Highlights
In the last few decades allergic diseases have increased extensively.Ocular allergy is one of the most common ocular condition found in clinical practice 1,2
It is considered that allergic diseases are caused due to numerous factors like pets, dust, pollen grain exposure, air pollution, genetic variation, and frequent exposure to allergens in early childhood [1]
General examination will be done, vitals and higher function status will be noted. This is a cross sectional observational study on consecutive patients from eye OPD assigned to undergo slit lamp examination, fundoscopy, tear film break up time, Schirmer’s test with topical anaesthesia
