Overview
Allergic conjunctivitis is usually a clinical diagnosis. Laboratory tests are primarily supportive. They may help in differentiating intrinsic and extrinsic forms of the condition and thus, guide the treatment.
Laboratory findings
Skin prick test
Intradermal injections of individual allergens are administered to detect sensitivity[1].
IgE estimation
In-vitro tests to detect IgE antibodies to specific allergens are widely used[2].
