Eye protection from airborne allergens. 1986

E C Little, and L F Garner

The need for eye protection from hazards such as flying objects, particles, dust, noxious gases and chemicals is well established, and is part of normal safety procedures where these hazards exist. There have been recent reports that eye protection from airborne allergens may be an effective method for reducing the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and hay fever. This review examines the literature on these devices which appear to offer an alternative to conventional drug therapy.
