Abstract: Allergic conjunctivitis is a common ocular disease, including seasonal allergic conjunctivitis(SAC), perennial allergic conjunctivitis(PAC), vernal keratoconjunctivitis(VKC), atopic keratoconjunctivitis(AKC), and giant papillary conjunctivitis(GPC). Allergic conjunctivitis can affect patients’ qualify of life and might even lead to blindness in severe conditions. Recently, many studies have reported new strategies for the diagnosis of allergic conjunctivitis, which include tear cytology and detection of allergen-specific IgE in tears, as well as other molecular tests. New types of immunomodulators are of great help in treating severe cases, and allergen-specific immunotherapy is gaining momentum for the management of SAC and PAC.

Key words: Diagnosis, Allergic conjunctivitis, Treatment
