All of the following are indicated in the initial management of mild-to-moderate allergic conjunctivitis except:
cool compresses
artificial tear supplements
Rx antihistamines (eg, olopatadine)
topical OTC antihistamines (eg, ketotifen)
ophthalmic antibiotics (eg, tobramycin)
You are correct. Mild allergic conjunctivitis usually responds to supportive measures, including allergen avoidance, artificial tears, and cool compresses. Moderate cases may require topical antihistamines, topical NSAIDs, mast cell stabilizers, and/or oral antihistamines. Ophthalmic antibiotics such as tobramycin may be indicated in cases of bacterial (not allergic) conjunctivitis.
