  10. have a positive Allergen BioCube challenge response to pollen exposure at the 90 minute time point of ABC exposure at Visit 2, defined as bilateral score of >2 in ocular itching and ocular redness.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects may not:
  1. have known contraindications or sensitivities to the use of any of theinvestigational product medication or components;

  2. have a history of mild persistent, moderate or severe asthma within thepreceding 5 years according to the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Instituteclassification (with the exception of exercise induced asthma).Note: Subjects with fall induced asthma that is either mild persistent (definedas >1 per week, but <1 per day), moderate persistent, or severe persistent willbe excluded.

  4. have a history of anaphylaxis or poor tolerability of previously administeredallergen;

  5. have a compromised lung function at Visit 1 (defined as a peak expiratory flowrate [PEFR] that is below 80% of the predicted average PEFR, as calculated bygender, age, and measured height from the Mini-Wright instruction's table:Normal Adult Predicted Average Peak Expiratory Flow).

  6. have an abnormal blood pressure (defined as ≤ 90 or ≥ 160 (systolic) measuredin mmHg or ≤ 60 or ≥ 100 (diastolic) measured in mmHg) at Visit 1;

  7. have any ocular condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, couldaffect the subject's safety or trial parameters (including but not limited tonarrow angle glaucoma, clinically significant blepharitis, follicularconjunctivitis, iritis, pterygium, or a diagnosis of dry eye);

  8. have had ocular surgical intervention within three months prior to Visit 1, orduring the trial or a history of refractive surgery six months prior to Visit 1, or have systemic surgery planned during the clinical trial or within 30 daysafter;
