| Summary: | Hypersensitivity reactions are our own immune responses to various triggering factors. These immune responses result in different clinical presentations of various ocular diseases. Various cytokines, interleukins are responsible for a myriad of symptoms and thus our therapy should be targeted on specific immunological pathways. In this article we have summarized various ocular diseases with the causative immune pathways thus simplifying the underlying cause.
