Abstract :

 Ocular hypersensitivity reaction (OHR) includes several clinically different conditions that can be considered as hypersensitivity disorders of the eye. The classification of these conditions is very complex. The diagnosis of OHR is usually based on clinical history and signs and symptoms and also certain tests. There are very few studies on types of OHR. So the present study was conducted to find the epidemiology of individual type OHR, age and sex distribution and correlate the types of OHR with age, sex, bilateral or unilateral, systemic involvement and severity of illness. 50 patients of OHR were studied in which male (52%) predominance sees with most common age group involved was 20 to 30 years (40%), whereas sex distribution in individual type showed female predominance in phlyctenular conjunctivitis (60%) and collagen vascular disease (63%). In all cases of OHR allergic conjunctivitis (13/50) was most common followed by vernal keratoconjunctivitis (5/50)
