Treatment of vernal keratoconjunctivitis with topical cromolyn sodium
Abstract:
This paper presents five cases of steroid resistant vernal keratoconjunctivitis which were treated with cromolyn sodium. Four of the five patients had an associated punctate keratitis which cleared in this treatment. Topical application of cromolyn in the form of 4%aqueous solution appears to be an effective means for treating vernal keratoconjunctivitis .The drug is well tolerated and is without significant ocular side effects. The drug may be used in conjunction with topical corticosteroids without ill effect. More importantly, cromolyn may significantly reduce the need for topical corticosteroids.
