    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Vernal conjunctivitis is a recurrent allergic eye inflammation.
    • Pediatric patients often present with severe symptoms.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of cryotherapy for vernal conjunctivitis.

    Summary:

    • Twenty-five pediatric patients with vernal conjunctivitis underwent cryotherapy.
    • Three cryocycles at -160°C were administered under local anesthesia.
    • Rapid reduction in acute inflammation and eosinophils observed within days.

    Impact:

    • Cryotherapy offers a rapid treatment for acute vernal conjunctivitis symptoms.
    • Flattening of cobblestone lesions requires multiple treatment sessions.
  • This approach may reduce the need for long-term topical medications.
