Histamine receptor activation and degranulation of mast cells are the mechanisms by which the ocular itching, hyperemia, chemosis, eyelid swelling, and tearing of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis are induced. Some of the topical solutions available as anti-allergy therapies are intended to interfere with these mechanisms, and the body of research regarding the capabilities of these therapeutic molecules continues to expand.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 August 2022.
All research outputs
#7,581,852
of 34,360,257 outputs
Outputs from Current Medical Research & Opinion
#943
of 4,277 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,965
of 99,323 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Medical Research & Opinion
#8
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,360,257 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,277 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 99,323 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
