Prostaglandins(PGF2α, PGD2, PGE2)
Cyclic Endoperoxides
Prostacyclin(PGI2)

Slide 7 Main Characters
• Eosinophils
• Neutrophils
• Cytokines
• Adhesion Molecules
Slide 8 Secondary Mediators
• Leukotrienes - vascular permeability, sm contraction• Prostaglandins - vasodilation, sm contraction,
platelet activation• Bradykinin - vascular permeability, sm contraction• Cytokines - numerous effects incl. activation of
vascular endothelium, eosinophil recruitment and activation
Slide 9 Secondary/Late phase mediators
• Responsible for development of severe disease• Carry the risk of scarring • Are self perpetuating
Slide 10
Slide 11 PRIMING
• In allergy there is an up-regulation of the receptors on the epithelial surface that bind eosinophils and neutrophils.
Slide 12 Common Factor
• All allergic conditions itch.
• All allergy involves mast cell activation– Release inflammatory mediators– Recruit inflammatory cells
Slide 13 Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis
Definition:Common, recurrent, bilateral ocular inflammatory process
often initiated by airborne allergens1
Manifested by mild to severe symptoms of ocular discomfort1,2
Mast cell: common denominator in all types of ocular allergies1,3
Type I immediate-IgE hypersensitivity allergic reaction1,4
Pathogenesis involves a complex interactive mechanism between IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation and the release of inflammatory mediators1

Slide 14 Pathophysiology of Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis: Chemical Mediators1-3
• Generated through the inflammatory cascade– Play a key role in the inflammatory reaction of the
ocular allergic response
• Created through the cascade as– Early-phase chemical mediators (preformed)– Late-phase chemical mediators (newly formed)

Slide 15 Mast Cell
Primary cellular component of the ocular allergic reaction1
Main source of early, preformed inflammatory mediators and a variety of cytokines1
Mediators and cytokines are responsible for the initiation and progression of the allergic inflammatory reaction, respectively2
Cytokines play a central role in the immunoregulatory mechanism of the ocular allergic response3

Slide 16 Early-Phase Reactions
Occurs approximately 20 minutes after the initial antigen challenge and persists for 1-2 hours3,4
Mast cell degranulation marks the beginning of the acute early-phase reaction1,2
Histamine is released along with cytokines and other preformed mediators1,2
These events elicit the immediate signs and symptoms of the ocular allergic reaction1,2
The duration of these signs and symptoms in the acute, early phase of the allergic reaction is correlated with their intensity2

Slide 17 We need an Antihistamine
• King of the allergy treatments
• Proven safety for long term use
• Instant relief
Slide 18 Side Effects
Slide 19 Late-Phase Reactions
Clinical and histopathological phenomenon characterized by the release of newly formed mediators and the recruitment of inflammatory cells1,2
Causes further tissue damage2
Continues the inflammatory cycle3
Occur 4 to 8 hours after the initial antigen challenge, and persists for up to 24 hours1
Dependent on the initial antigen dose2
Clinically characterized by the persistence of signs and symptoms2
The time course for the development of these signs and symptoms has been well established2

Slide 20 We need something more
Slide 21 Corticosteroids
• Should be used whenever the eye looks inflammatory – Decreased tear production and tear clearance lead
to chronic inflammation (and lid friction) on the ocular surface
• Are often needed to prevent corneal involvement
• Should be used in a pulse regime
Slide 22 Corticosteroids
• Will control prostaglandins and leukotrienes • STOPS THE INFLAMMATION CASCADE• Suppresses inflammation• Allows for reestablishment of the neural feed
back loop
Slide 23 Conjunctival Time Course of Selected Inflammatory Cells and
MediatorsThe complete system complex is more than histamine. It has peaks and troughs well beyond the acute stage, therefore all of these mediators need to be treated when treating allergies

Slide 27 NSAIDS
• Reduce itching as well as burning and itching
• Patients with multiple symptoms may benefit
Slide 28
Slide 29 Seasonal Conjunctivitis
• Cornea is almost never involved• Few Papillae • Often itches more than it would appear
• Lots of symptoms and little to no signs
Slide 30 QD for Allergy?
Slide 31 Perennial Conjunctivitis
• Symptoms persist past allergy season
• May be atopic, with an immune dysregulation
• Benefit from allergist consult
Slide 32 Atopic Conjunctivitis Threat
• EVERY EFFORT MUST BE MADE TO CONTROL THE DISEASE BEFORE THE CORNEAL CHANGES OCCUR
• Watch for constellation of conjunctivitis, rhinitis, asthma, eczema
Slide 33 Why do we fail?
Slide 34 Modalities for treating itching associated with Allergic Conjunctivitis1
OTC topical antihistamines, vasoconstrictors
Rx Topical Corticosteroids
RxMast Cell Stabilizers
AllergenAvoidance Cool Compresses Lubrication/
Artificial Tears
Rx Dual-ActionAntihistamine/Mast Cell Stabilizers
BEPREVEIndicated for the treatment of itching associated
with allergic conjunctivitis
Rx NSAIDs
Slide 35 Treating seems easy.How do we Manage?
Slide 36 Artificial tears are necessary
• Tear Substitutes:– Barrier function - improve 1st line of defense;
– Dilute allergens and mediators in tears;
– Flush allergens and mediators out of the eye;
– Non-preserved are preferred;
– Keep refrigerated for added comfort
Slide 37 Mast cell stabilization
• Stabilization of mast cells can not take place in the presence of edema or inflammation.
• The receptors are bound by other factors and the mast cell stabilizers have a decreased ability to get to the binding site.

Thereafter
Slide 50 Antihistamines causing dry eye
Slide 51 Blepharitis – Not Easy
• Chronic• Uncertain etiology • Coexisting ocular
disease
Itchy eyelids!!!!!
Slide 52 High prevalence of bleph possibly due to poor diet
52 60
Slide 53 Patients may not be well educated on nutrition
53
Slide 54 Blepharitis
• Constantly releases inflammatory factors into the tear film
• Tear film then provides vehicle to bath all tissues in these inflammatory factors
• Lack of proper tear film allows extended contact time between factor and tissue
Slide 55 Culprits
• Staphylococcus epidermidis
• S. aureus
• Toxin production
• Cell mediated immunity – Staph antigens cause inflammation
Slide 56 Bleph Treatments?
• Are warm compresses and lid scrubs necessary?
• Artificial tears • Antibiotics
– Oral or topical?
• What about the inflammation?
Slide 57 Antibiotics
• Topical– Bacitracin
• Great for the bacteria, not so much for the inflammation
• Combos– Zylet and Tobradex
• Tobramycin
Slide 58 Antibiotics ?
• Tetracycline analogues have been shown to decrease bacterial lipases, and demonstrate anti-inflammatory properties in the cornea
• Should be used with moderate bleph or MGD, and when corneal involvement is significant
• Doxy 50-200mg/day x 30 days (may need a maintenance dose of 100mg x up to 6 months)
• Use Minocycline if tolerability is an issue, or increased sun exposure
Slide 59 Doxy
• Doxycycline--a role in ocular surface repairBr. J. Ophthalmol., May 1, 2004; 88(5): 619 -625.
• Doxycycline irreversibly inhibits corneal MMP-2 activity by chelating the metal ions that are catalytically and structurally essential.
Slide 60 Omega-3
• Women Health Study – Harvard School of Public Health
• Consumption of Omega-3s was directly related to a decreased risk of dry eye
• Omega-6 counteracts benefits of Omega-3• Consumption of Omega-6s was correlated
with increased risk of dry eye
