Treatment of vernal conjunctivitis.

چکیده
THE aetiology of vernal conjunctivitis is not yet established apart from a supposed association with "allergy ". Fibrolysin (Luedde, 1920), acetic acid, lactic acid (Tontscheff, 1929), chaulmoogra oil (El-Tobgy, 1933), and other classical "magic eye-drops ", have all proved useless. No specific therapy has been found apart from palliatives till the disease subsides of its own accord. The clinical aspect of the disease has already been dealt with (Alimuddin, 1955); in the following study the effects of various therapies are evaluated.
