AIM： To review the clinical features of vernal conjunctivitis in Enugu. METHODS： One hundred consecutive patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis（VKC） who presented to Enugu State University of Science and Technology （ESUT） Teaching Hospital Parklane, Enugu were reviewed prospectively. Bio-data, age at onset, family history and presence of associated atopy were documented in a structured questionnaire. Patients were subsequently examined with x 2 head Ioupe or slit lamp. RESULTS： Sixty-eight patients were males and 32 were females. Seventy-two percent were less than 15 years. Onset was predominantly （65.0%） in the first 4 years of life. Itching was more intense during the dry hot season in the majority （59. 6%） of those who had seasonal variation. Only 29% had associated atopy namely, allergic rhinitis （75.9% of the subgroup）, asthma （10.3%） and atopic dermatitis （13.8%）. Corneal involvement was not a prominent feature. CONCLUSION： Vernal conjunctivitis in Enugu is predominantly seen in childhood, males being more affected than females. Onset is common in the first decade of life. Most patients itch throughout the year but some itching is worse during the hot dry season. Allergic rhinitis is the commonest associated atopy.
