Purpose of review: This work outlines a psychodynamic approach to ocular allergies, picking up the emotional issues related to the topic of eye out of the psychodynamic and psychosomatic literature and connecting them to a strategy of multidisciplinary treatment based on a therapeutic network that meets the unconscious patient's distresses, particularly those relating to the anxiety of abandonment, to the emotional nonmirroring and to the aspects of envy.
Recent findings: More specifically is considered a modern psychodynamic approach able to link together the particular depth of pathology (in terms of its physiological changes) with the analogous depth of conflict and its psychological defences and able to intervene through a medical-psychological network according to the systemic criteria of the eco-bio-psychology.
Summary: The psychodynamic research on ocular allergy is currently poor and methodologically reductive. We tried to indicate the general aspects to be considered to implement a broader psychodynamic approach. An approach that intervenes through a medical-psychological network according to the systemic criteria of the ecobiopsychology. The collaboration between the family doctor, the medical specialist and the psychologist should be considered in terms of an environment that facilitates the psychoemotional development of the individual, catching the somatopsychic aspects which have been left dissatisfied.
