The type of corneal ectasia, the presence of breaks in Descemet's membrane, and the success with contact lens wear or penetrating keratoplasty were studied in 61 patients with corneal ectasia and vernal keratoconjunctivitis. There were 53 patients with keratoconus, 5 with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration, 2 with keratoglobus, and 1 with superior corneal thinning. The high rate of hydrops and the corneal ectasia itself may be related to excessive eye rubbing. Success with contact lens wear or penetrating keratoplasty in vernal keratoconjunctivitis patients with keratoconus is less than in patients with keratoconus alone.

To describe a case of bilateral cicatrizing keratoconjunctivitis in a patient with lichen planus and review the literature. Conjunctiva cicatrization with symblepharon formation, dry eye, corneal infiltration and neovascularization and thinning were the most observed prominent signs. Diagnosis was based on clinical findings and biopsy, after exclusion of typical causes of cicatricial keratoconjunctivitis.
