Distinguishing between vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) can be challenging. Historically, AKC is rarely recognized as a diagnostic entity before puberty and is thought to occur predominantly in adults. If a young patient were to present with AKC-like symptoms and atopic dermatitis, they might be diagnosed with VKC.1 The aim of this report was to establish guidelines for distinguishing diagnosis between AKC and VKC.
