Case report: a patient with eye pain associated with headache due to acute allergic conjunctivitis

Abstract EN

Allergic conjunctivitis is a prevalent eye condition especially in our region.

Ocular allergy can greatly impact the quality of life.

Therefore, we present a case of acute allergic conjunctivitis which were aggravated by glaucoma and dry eye syndrome.

Multiple examinations were conducted such as a slit lamp OCT, topography examination with investigations to reach a diagnosis.

Diamox and Cosopt and Ganforte were used as a first-line therapy to treat the increased intraocular pressure (IOP).

The long-term topical steroids prescribed by the general practitioner was stopped.

After stopping the topical steroids, notable and drastic changes were observed with the patient.

The IOP which was initially high decreased within a week and the symptoms of headache and pain ceased.
