Abstract :

 Ocular hypersensitivity reaction (OHR) comprises many different clinical entities with varied signs and symptoms, etiology and management. Gell and Coombs classified hypersensitivity reactions into four different groups (Types I, II, III, and IV) There are very few isolated studies on OHR; most of studies were on combined with allergic rhinitis or only on allergic conjunctivitis. So the present study was conducted to study each type of OHR in detail and to find out its severity, various treatment modalities, complications and recurrence rate of each type of OHR. This is one year prospective study.
