Spring conjunctivitis

Vernarl conjunctivitis is more accurately known as vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC). It is a bilateral chronic external eye disease. Atopic individuals can respond to antigens that are prevalent in the environment. Major atopic diseases include eczema, asthma and urticaria. VKC mainly affects children and young adults. It is most common in spring, so it is called ldquo; spring rdquo; conjunctivitis. The affected patients mainly present with external eye disease, the main symptoms of which are pruritus, tearing, shame, and mucous secretions. The disease is "self-limiting." Currently proven drugs are topical glucocorticoids and mast cell stabilizers.
