Vernal keratoconjunctivitis therefore, if managed properly, can be controlled. Inaccurate diagnosis or staging of the disease, together with inaccurate treatment will however, result in changes which can jeopardize sight and may even necessitate corneal surgery at a later date.

Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC)
Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 1993Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is an allergic ocular disease in children and young adults. It is linked to atopy but it is characterized by typical inflammatory changes of ocular tissues. The conjunctiva often shows hyperplasia, with infiltration of lymphocytes and eosinophils; also mast cells, confined to the substantia propria in normal subjects ...

Immunopathological study of vernal keratoconjunctivitis
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 1989The in situ immune reaction occurring in the conjunctival tissues of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis was studied using immunohistochemical techniques and a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. Our data point to a complex immunopathogenesis of the disease. The anaphylactic response was demonstrated by the presence of many eosinophils

A contribution to the immunopathology of vernal keratoconjunctivitis
Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1982The tear fluid contains proteins which are synthesized locally in the conjunctiva and lacrimal glands, and others, which reach the tear fluid from the blood circulation. It is generally accepted that serum albumin (HSA) belongs to the latter group of tear proteins.

Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 2014Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) belongs to the group of allergic eye diseases. The incidence varies considerably, depending on the climate zone. In temperate climates VKC occurs only seasonally, while in hot climates it is mostly all year-round and rather more severe. Most commonly boys are affected in the first decade of life.
