The Role of In Vivo Confocal Microscopy in Ocular Allergies.
Turk J Ophthalmol
December 2024
Keio University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo, Japan.
In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the layers of the cornea and conjunctiva in real time. In patients with atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) and vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), this technology can be useful in diagnosing and monitoring the disease, as well as evaluating the efficacy of treatments. IVCM can reveal subclinical abnormalities in the corneal and conjunctival epithelium such as inflammatory cell infiltrates and tissue damage, which can provide insight into the pathogenesis of AKC.

Methods: A cross-sectional- cum-cohort study was conducted in rural and urban areas in different geographical locations (plains, hilly, high-altitude and coastal) in India. Children (5-15 years) were included, information on exposure to environmental factors gathered, participants screened for AED and VKC on torch light, followed by a comprehensive eye examination.

Article Synopsis
- Some treatments called biologics can help people with severe asthma and other allergic diseases like skin issues and food allergies.
- Dupilumab has been shown to work well for skin problems and has been approved, while Omalizumab helps with allergies but isn't approved for that use yet.
- There are promising ideas about combining biologic therapy with other treatments for allergies, but more research is needed to confirm if they really work.
