    Author: Goen TM, Sieboldt K, Terry JE.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1986 Jul; 57(7):526-30. PubMed ID: 3091671.
    Abstract:
    Cromolyn sodium is a highly effective topical anti-allergenic solution for the treatment of vernal, giant papillary, ragweed, and atopic conjunctivitis. It acts by inhibiting the release of histamine and thereby prevents the inflammatory response by subacute type I hypersensitivity reactions. The following paper reviews the drug action of cromolyn sodium and discusses its value in the treatment of type I ocular allergic diseases.
