Cryosurgery in palpebral vernal catarrh.
In nine labeled as resistant palpebral vernal catarrh (keratoconjunctivitis), the upper eyelids were treated by cryosurgery. Eight patients (16 eyelids) showed dramatic and encouraging symptomatic and anatomic results. Cryosurgery has been shown to be an effective, simple, and inexpensive treatment of palpebral vernal catarrh.
