MILAN — In this video perspective at the ESCRS meeting, Dominique Brémond-Gignac, MD, PhD, speaks about cyclosporine as a novel promising treatment for vernal keratoconjunctivitis.
Management of vernal keratoconjunctivitis was the topic of a satellite symposium sponsored by Santen during the World Society of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus subspecialty day. Cyclosporine has demonstrated safety, efficacy and the ability to reduce the need for corticosteroids in a worldwide study, and it represents a realistic hope for children who have their life heavily affected by this disease.
