Abstract

AbstractVernal and atopic keratoconjunctivis (VKC, AKC) are severe types of ocular allergy, characterized by acute and chronic corneoconjunctival inflammation that may lead to visual sequelae. Although topical immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus are usually effective, some severe may be refractory. Omalizumab is a monoclonal anti IgE antibody, administered systematically and authorized for severe asthma. We will report our clinical experience of omalizumab in AKC and VKC patients, and will also detail a review of the literature.
