Ceratoconjuntivite vernal é uma forma persistente e grave de alergia ocular que afeta crianças e adultos jovens, geralmente em climas quentes. A ceratoconjuntivite vernal tipicamente aparece em meninos entre as idades de 4 a 12 anos. Os sintomas típicos são coceira intensa, lacrimejamento e fotofobia. A exacerbação da doença pode ser desencadeada pela reexposição ao alérgeno ou por estímulos inespecíficos, como luz solar, vento e poeira. A forma tarsal é caracterizada por papilas hipertróficas de tamanho irregular, levando a uma aparência de paralelepípedos na placa tarsal superior. A forma límbica é caracterizada por infiltrados limbais múltiplos transitórios ou infiltrados conjuntivais gelatinosos amarelo-acinzentados sobrepostos com pontos ou depósitos brancos, conhecidos como pontos de Horner-Trantas, e papilas no limbo. | |||

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis is a persistent and severe form of ocular allergy that affects children and young adults, usually in warm climates. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis typically appears in boys between the ages of 4–12 years. The typical symptoms are intense itching, tearing, and photophobia. Disease exacerbation can be triggered either by allergen re-exposure or by nonspecific stimuli such as sunlight, wind, and dust. The tarsal form is characterised by irregularly sized hypertrophic papillae, leading to a cobblestone appearance of the upper tarsal plate. The limbal form is characterised by transient, multiple limbal, or conjunctival gelatinous yellow-grey infiltrates superposed with white points or deposits, known as Horner–Trantas dots and papillae at the limbus. | |||
