Abstract

Blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the eyelids (blepharo-), cornea (kerato-), and conjunctiva (conjunctivitis). It is commonly seen in children and is most associated with acne rosacea in adults and can lead to long-term complications if not managed properly. Purpose: To evaluate symptoms, clinical signs and treatment outcomes of BKC. Methods: In a prospective study of all patients with a diagnosis of BKC attending the Cornea department between July 2022 and August 2023 at a tertiary referral centre (Viet Nam Eye Hospital, Viet Nam). We further noted the clinical characteristics, management and treatment outcomes of all patients. Results: A total of  45 eyes from 31 patients were included. There were 21 females and 10 males. The mean age was 14.0 ± 11.5 years (range 3-50 yo). After 3 months follow-up, all patients showed clinical improvement and disease remission with no adverse events reported and no recurrence. Conclusions: With early treatment and proper management, most cases of BKC can be controlled, preventing long-term complications.
