Abstract:
Most patients with allergic conjunctivitis in children are vernal keratoconjunctivitis.Dry eye accompanied with al- lergic conjunctivitis in children is correlated with the decline of tear film stability.However,tear film stability decline is correlated with eosinophilic activation and concomitant release of inflammatory mediators.Moreover,conjunctival epithelial,goblet cells and tear film are damaged,then dry eye occur.Main symptom of dry eye in children is twinkling frequency increasing,followed by eye itch,eye red and photophobia.When allergic conjunctivitis in children is diagnosed,dry eye should be considered at the same time.Proper manage- ment for those allergic conjunctivitis can decrease ocular surface damages.
