Oral probiotics for children with eye allergies
Part of Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic (a 'good bacteria' supplement) can help reduce symptoms of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), a type of eye allergy that affects children. It also looks at how the probiotic affects the gut microbiome (the natural bacteria in the gut). If you or your child has VKC and is otherwise healthy, this could be a way to try a natural supplement approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
