[Alomide, a preventive immunopharmaceutical agent, in the treatment of ocular atopy].

The author presents an account on initial experience with 0.1% lodoxamide in the treatment of atopy of the eyes. A positive effect was found in vernal catarrh. A favourable result was recorded in two sub-types of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, mostly in the lower tarsal form with a follicular reaction in children and in purely limbal irritation in adults. The good effect in these two atypical forms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis as a purely preventive immunopharmaceutical drug during the pollen season was remarkable.
