Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a dexamethasone intracanalicular insert (DEX) for treating allergic conjunctivitis (AC) in adults, comparing it to a placebo.
  • 96 participants were randomized into two groups (DEX and placebo) and underwent allergen challenges to assess symptoms like ocular itching and redness over 30 days.
  • Results showed that the DEX insert significantly reduced eye itching and redness compared to placebo without serious side effects, indicating it might be a safe and effective treatment option for AC.
