Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a recurrent bilateral inflammatory condition of the ocular surface with an allergic component. First-line management is directed at reducing trigger exposure and controlling ocular discomfort.
General treatment measures for vernal/atopic conjunctivitis include modifying the environment to minimize exposure to allergens or irritants and using cool compresses and ocular lubricants.
Topical and oral antihistamines and topical mast-cell stabilizers can be useful to maintain comfort.
