“…30 The prevalence of ocular allergies has a large variation between geographical areas not only because of differences in genetic and environmental factors but also because of the lack of standardization in the assessment of symptoms by validated methods. 39 In this study, the prevalence of PAC (37.7%) and VKC (31.1%) was higher than reported in the international literature in which SAC is the most prevalent form followed by PAC and VKC. 2,40 In a previous Brazilian study, VKC and AKC were the more prevalent forms.…”

“…Ocular symptoms occur in a large proportion of patients with AR. The rate of OS found in this study (27,6%) is lower than the rate presented in the literature, which is higher than 40% (34)(35)(36). Traditionally, allergy investigations have focused on nasal symptoms, but recent studies have highlighted the prevalence and significance of OS.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of ocular symptoms and compare the demographic and clinical characteristics in AR patients depending on sensitisation to various types of aeroallergens. Allergic rhinitis is defined as an IgE-mediated inflammation of the lining of the nose that is characterized by nasal symptoms, including nasal congestion, sneezing, itching of nose and runny nose. Patients suffering from allergic rhinitis frequently experience ocular symptoms such as ocular redness, eye itching and tears. The frequency of ocular symptoms in our study population was 27,6%. No statistical significance was found in the mean ages of the patients who did or did not experience ocular symptoms p>0,05 (p=0,243). Our results indicated that there were no statistical differences (p>0,05) among the groups of allergic rhinitis patients based on experiencing nasal symptoms according to the types of aeroallergens. Our results indicated that there were significant experiences of ocular symptoms in patients who were sensitised to outdoor aeroallergens (p<0,001) and significant sensitisation to both outdoor and indoor aeroallergens (p<0,05). Experiencing the examined ocular symptoms, including ocular redness, eye itching and tears, demonstrated highly statistical significance (p<0,001) among the groups of allergic rhinitis patients who were sensitised to indoor aeroallergens and outdoor aeroallergens, and there was statistical significance (p<0,05) among the groups of allergic rhinitis patients who were sensitised to indoor aeroallergens and both types of aeroallergens (indoor and outdoor). Ocular symptoms are more common in patients who are sensitised to outdoor aeroallergens.

“…A health-related quality of life questionnaire has been developed and proposed for VKC children [13]. A validated questionnaire on symptoms was used in adolescents to diagnose allergic conjunctivitis [14]; however, no signs and ophthalmological evaluations were included. In the present survey, we observed that 70% of patients had only a few episodes of mild conjunctivitis annually, but 30% of patients had frequent episodes with intense and persistent symptoms.…”
