Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Diseases
  • Allergic Eye Diseases

Background:

  • Vernal ulcer is a rare ophthalmic condition.
  • Its occurrence in Indian ophthalmic literature has not been previously reported.
  • Vernal conjunctivitis is a common allergic eye condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the incidence and characteristics of vernal ulcers in Indian patients.
  • To analyze the association of vernal ulcers with vernal conjunctivitis types and patient demographics.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 76 patients diagnosed with vernal conjunctivitis.
  • Referral from general ophthalmology to cornea service between 1988-1989.
  • Evaluation of corneal involvement, including vernal keratitis and vernal ulcer.

Main Results:

  • 55 out of 76 patients (72.4%) had corneal involvement.
  • 16 patients (21.1%) presented with typical vernal ulcers.
  • Vernal ulcers were more common in males (60 males, 16 females) and associated with the palpebral type of vernal conjunctivitis.

Conclusions:

  • Vernal ulcer is a significant complication of vernal conjunctivitis in India.
  • The condition predominantly affects young males and is linked to specific types of vernal conjunctivitis.
  • Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology and management of vernal ulcers.
