The incidence of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) varies across different ethnicities and regions. To investigate the clinical features of VKC in Tibet, a single-center case series of VKC was retrospectively reviewed from a general hospital in Lhasa over one year. General data and typical manifestations were recorded. Horner-Trantas dots, limbal neovascularization, pseudogerontoxon and upper palpebral conjunctival papilla were seen in most of these patients. Patients with signs such as limbal pannus ( = 2.18, < 0.05), pseudogerontoxon ( = 2.61, < 0.05), and Horner-Trantas dots ( = 2.33, < 0.05) appeared to have longer disease courses, while patients with upper palpebral conjunctival lesions had earlier onset times ( = 2.12, < 0.05). The clinical signs of VKC on the Tibetan Plateau are more obvious, and the ocular surface is commonly and severely involved.
春季角结膜炎（VKC）的发病率在不同种族和地区有所不同。为了研究西藏 VKC 的临床特征，我们对拉萨一家综合医院一年多来的 VKC 进行了单中心病例系列回顾。记录了一般资料和典型表现。大多数患者可见 Horner-Trantas 点、角膜缘新生血管、假性老年环和上睑结膜乳头。具有角膜缘血管翳（ = 2.18， < 0.05）、假性老年环（ = 2.61， < 0.05）和 Horner-Trantas 点（ = 2.33， < 0.05）等体征的患者似乎病程较长，而上睑结膜病变的患者发病时间更早（ = 2.12， < 0.05）。青藏高原 VKC 的临床体征更明显，眼表常受累严重。
