Background: The current research had been carried out to study the demographic as well as clinical profile of subjects having vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC). Materials and Methods: Every VKC patient's chart was examined. There were total of 100 patients with VKC. VKC was confirmed to be the cause based on the patient's medical history and typical signs and symptoms. The presence of active VKC was determined based on the patient's complaints of ocular discomfort, upper tarsal conjunctival papillae, limbal hypertrophy, and bulbar conjunctival pigmentation. Results: Thirty individuals had corneal scarring as a result of their condition. Only 8% of individuals had corneal shield ulcers, although 17% had keratoconus. Twenty-six individuals, or 26%, had peripheral corneal neovascularization. Seven percent of patients presented with clinical signs of limbal stem cell deficit (LSCD), including corneal neovascularizationand corneal scarring. Cataract and glaucoma, both caused by corticosteroids, were observed in 7% and 5% of patients, respectively. Conclusion: There is a higher risk of consequences from both the disease and its therapies.
