Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease affecting the conjunctiva and, in some cases, the cornea of the eye. This allergic condition is characterized by severe hyperemia, itching, lacrimation and discharge from the eyes. The pathology most often occurs in the spring months, which is reflected in its name, and is usually observed in children and young adults. It should be emphasized that VKC is associated with both environmental and genetic factors, which makes its study multifaceted and relevant. Unlike other types of allergic conjunctivitis, such as seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis may be accompanied by more severe symptoms and may lead to the development of complications, including corneal opacity.<\/p>\n
