Phenotype of Tear Leukocytes in Seasonal Ocular Allergy and Their Potential Impacts on Ocular Surface Inflammation

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how seasonal allergies influence tear leukocyte recruitment and their implications for ocular inflammation.
• Assessment of tear leukocytes in individuals with seasonal allergies
• Analysis of PMN activation
• Evaluation of ocular surface inflammation
• Increased recruitment of PMNs observed in tears during seasonal allergy
• Tear leukocytes show changes indicative of activation
• Potential link established between tear leukocytes and ocular surface inflammation
