This condition can be seen in allergic conjunctivitis, contact blepharitis, and the symptoms usually manifest as redness and swelling of the eyelids with a distinct itchy sensation.

If the examination is unclear, local cold compresses can be given to effectively reduce the local swelling, and systemic and local anti-allergy treatment can be applied, such as local sodium cromoglycate eye drops, azelastine hydrochloride eye drops, olopatadine eye drops, and flutemetron eye drops, etc. Systemic oral loratadine can be given.
