Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of cold compress in relieving symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. Method: Tools included survey and assessment proforma and interview schedule. Total 217 subjects (108 experimental, 109 controls) were identified by stratified systematic random sampling. Pre interventional assessment of symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis was done in both groups. In experimental group cold compress was applied on both eyes as per protocol. Final post interventional assessment of symptoms was done on 6th day in both groups. Results: Cold compress reduced overall intensity of all symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis significantly (p value < 0.05 - Mann-Whitney Test) in experimental group compared to control group. Conclusion: Cold compress is an effective measure and can hence be used as a routine home-based practice to provide satisfactory relief from symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.
