2 Fig. 1 Vernal keratoconjunctivitis with cobblestone appearance of numerous large, inflammatory papillae on undersurface of upper eyelid. Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1992 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Horner's points or Trantas' dots. These inflammatory nodules are composed of eosinophils and are found near corneoscleral limbus in vernal keratoconjunctivitis; they are virtually pathognomonic for the disorder.

4 Fig. 3 A shield ulcer of the cornea in a patient with vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1992 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

5 Fig. 4 Photomicrographs demonstrating deposition of eosinophil granule major basic protein in vernal keratoconjunctivitis. A, Section of conjunctiva. Note papilla formation and subepithelial inflammatory infiltrate. (Hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification, ×160.) B, Serial section stained for immunofluorescence, showing extensive staining for major basic protein. (Original magnification, ×160.)

6 Fig. 5 Severe blepharitis and perioral lesions with probable bacterial superinfection in a patient with atopic keratoconjunctivitis. Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1992 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

7 Fig. 6 An anterior lenticular opacity (cataract) associated with atopic keratoconjunctivitis. Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1992 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

8 Fig. 7 Giant papillary conjunctivitis, an allergic response associated primarily with wearing of contact lenses. Mayo Clinic Proceedings  , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1992 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

9 Fig. 8 Photomicrographs of deposition of eosinophil granule major basic protein in giant papillary conjunctivitis. A, Section of conjunctiva. Note accumulation of inflammatory cells in substantia propria. (Hematoxylin-eosin; original magnification, ×160.) B, Serial section stained for immunofluorescence, showing focal staining for major basic protein. (Original magnification, ×160.)

10 Fig. 9 Contact lens from patient with atopy. A, Staining with hematoxylin-eosin shows some surface deposits. B, Staining for immunofluorescence shows prominent eosinophil granule major basic protein, primarily on anterior surface.
