There is no difference in age for predilection or incidence of concretions, due to the causes of conjunctivitis, aging, and even congenital factor. For statistical purposes Conjunctival Concretion is classified under the World Health Organization's ICD-10 category of H11.129 [1] and the ICD-11 category of 9A61.6. [2]
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC, also Spring catarrh, Vernal catarrh or Warm weather conjunctivitis) is a recurrent, bilateral, and self-limiting type of conjunctivitis (pink eye) having a periodic seasonal incidence.
Keratoconjunctivitis is a term used to describe inflammation of both the cornea (the clear, front part of the eye) and the conjunctiva (the thin, transparent membrane covering the white part of the eye and lining the inside of the eyelids).
[2] [3] [4] Chronic conjunctivitis such as from tobacco smoke exposure or infection may also lead to the condition. [2] Diagnosis is mostly based on the symptoms, though a number of other tests may be used. [8] Dry eye syndrome occasionally makes wearing contact lenses impossible. [2] Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Conjunctivitis is the most common eye disease. [45] Rates of disease is related to the underlying cause which varies by the age as well as the time of year. Acute conjunctivitis is most frequently found in infants, school-age children and the elderly. [18] The most common cause of infectious conjunctivitis is viral conjunctivitis. [26]
Most conjunctivochalasis is thought to be caused by both a gradual thinning and stretching of the conjunctiva that accompanies age and a loss of adhesion between the conjunctiva and underlying sclera as the result of dissolution of Tenon's capsule.
The syndrome is marked by the appearance of characteristic lesions, known as phlyctenules, on the cornea and/or conjunctiva.These usually manifest as small (1 - 3 [1] or 1 - 4 [2] mm) raised nodules, pinkish-white or yellow in color, which may ulcerate (or, more rarely, necrose) and are often surrounded by dilated blood vessels.
For non-responsive cases, potential treatments include topical ciclosporin A, [8] vitamin A, [9] autologous serum [10] and injections of triamcinolone. [11] Surgical treatment options include thermocauterization of the bulbar conjunctiva [ 12 ] and conjunctival resection , [ 13 ] typically under rose bengal (RB) staining to visualize affected ...
