It primarily manifests as itchy eyes and may be accompanied by symptoms such as conjunctival congestion, photophobia, and tearing. When it leads to corneal infection, it can result in vision loss or blindness, significantly impacting the patient’s quality of life. Currently, clinical treatment mainly involves the use of topical eye medications, but these treatments often have short-lasting effects and are prone to recurrence. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concept of “Preventive Treatment of Disease” emphasizes the importance of prevention, making TCM particularly advantageous in managing allergic conjunctivitis. This article aims to introduce methods such as physical fitness conditioning, herbal oral administration, and external TCM treatments to prevent allergic conjunctivitis, reduce the recurrence rate among patients, or alleviate symptoms and signs during recurrence.
