Learn more about Ocular Allergy and Hypersensitivity with Dr. Greg Caldwell

Hello! Welcome to Woo’s Wisdom.

Dr. Greg Caldwell teed off our 3-part series titled “Stop the Itch”, with his 1-hour CE presentation titled “Ocular Allergy and Hypersensitivity Apocalypse – The Innate and Adaptive Immune System Gone Wild.”

Ocular allergies can be mild to severe in severity and can be a type 1 or type 4 hypersensitivity. This course reviewed the innate and adaptive immune system and reviewed how the immune system goes awry in these inappropriate reactions to our environment. With various pharmaceutical agents, it’s important to understand what treatment is most appropriate for the particular phase of the allergic reaction.

If you missed out on this presentation, you can check it out under past events on WooU.org.
