6. have a history of ocular allergies and a positive skin test reaction to a seasonal (grass, ragweed, tree pollen) or perennial (cat dander, dog dander, dust mites, cockroach) allergen as confirmed by an allergic skin test conducted at Visit 1 or within the past 24 months;

7. have a calculated best-corrected visual acuity of 0.7 LogMar or better in each eye as measured using an ETDRS chart at Visit 2;

8. have a positive bilateral CAC reaction (defined as having scores of ≥ 2 for ocular itching and ≥ 2 for conjunctival redness) within 10 minutes of instillation of the last titration of allergen at Visit 2;

9. have a positive bilateral CAC reaction (defined as having scores of ≥ 2 for ocular itching and ≥ 2 for conjunctival redness) in at least 2 out of 3 timepoints at following the challenge at Visit 3;

10. be able and willing to discontinue wearing contact lenses for at least 72 hours prior to Visit 2 and during the study trial period.

Exclusion Criteria

• Subjects may not:

1. have known contraindications or sensitivities to the use of any of the investigational product(s) or their components;

2. have any ocular condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could affect the subject's safety or trial parameters (including but not limited to narrow angle glaucoma, clinically significant blepharitis, follicular conjunctivitis, iritis, pterygium, or a diagnosis of dry eye);

3. have had ocular surgical intervention within 3 months prior to enrollment (Visit 4a) and/or a history of refractive surgery within 6 months prior to enrollment (Visit 4a);

5. have the presence of an active ocular infection (bacterial, viral or fungal), positive history of an ocular herpetic infection, or preauricular lymphadenopathy at any visit;

6. manifest signs or symptoms of clinically active allergic conjunctivitis in either eye at the start of Visits 2, 3, or 4a (defined as a score of >0 for itching and/or >1 for conjunctival redness);

7. use any of the following disallowed medications during the period indicated prior to Visit 2 and agree not to use disallowed medications throughout the study:

7 Days

• systemic or ocular H1 antihistamines, H1 antihistamine/mast-cell stabilizer drug combinations, H1 antihistamine-vasoconstrictor drug combinations,
• decongestants,
• immunotherapeutic agents,
• monoamine oxidase inhibitors,
• artificial tears,
• eye whiteners (eg, vasoconstrictors),
• lid scrubs,
• mast cell stabilizers,
• prostaglandins or prostaglandin derivatives,
• ocular, topical, or systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);

*Baby aspirin (81 mg) is allowed as long as a stable dose has been maintained for at least 30 days prior to Visit 1 and will continue to be maintained for the duration of the study.
