| Why carry out this study? |
| Most patients with allergic conjunctivitis, seeking quick relief, might use antihistamine eye drops for symptom alleviation. However, this method of using eye drops does not provide sufficient therapeutic effect and cannot improve QOL. |
| The hypothesis of this study was that proactive use was advantageous in improving QOL of patients with SAC throughout the pollen season. |
| What was learned from the study? |
| Proactive use of antihistamine eye drops is an effective means for improving the QOL and mental status of patients with SAC during the pollen season. |
| If the concentration of antihistamines can be maintained throughout the pollen season by proactive use of antihistamine eye drops, this method is expected to block H1 receptors in advance and reduce the occurrence of itching. |
