Compare the safety and efficacy of Hydrocortisone Ophthalmic Ointment 0.5% vs. Placebo for the reduction of signs and symptoms associated with allergic conjunctivitis. Demonstration of efficacy is a statistically significant improvement in itching on a 0 to 4 patient subjective assessment itch score compared to the vehicle arm and at least a 25% (or 1 full unit or more) improvement in itch scores. Efficacy for bulbar redness scores would be indicated by a statistically significant improvement in redness on a zero to 4 based on the investigators objective assessment compared to the vehicle group. Differences of at least 25% on the four point scale would be considered clinically significant when attained at the majority of time points.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of hydrocortisone ophthalmic ointment compared to placebo in the treatment of Allergic Conjunctivitis.
