Description:
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a rare form of chronic recurrent ocular allergy that primarily affects young males. The signs and symptoms of the condition can overlap with those of other allergic ocular conditions. A delayed diagnosis can lead to missed treatment opportunities and deleterious long-term consequences, including vision loss. Optimal treatment strategies include the use of traditional approaches and the integration of a newly approved treatment. The purpose of this educational activity is to review the epidemiology of VKC and to provide an overview of current diagnostic and management approaches. The desired results of this activity are for clinicians to better identify and treat patients with VKC.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
• Describe clinical trial data for a new treatment for vernal keratoconjunctivitis
• Apply evidence-based treatment strategies for a variety of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
