dc.description.abstract	Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic persistent disease in our country with a tropical climate. It mainly affects young school going children and if not treated in time may lead to irreversible blinding complications. A total of 41 patients under Selayang Hospital follow up were studied in a retrospective manner to provide epidemiological data, precipitating factors, common presenting symptoms, treatment options and outcomes. Our aim is to create awareness among all practitioners so that early Ophthalmology referral is commenced in aid to achieve clinical remission in the fastest time with the least complications.	en_US
