Part of chronic non-infectious conjunctivitis, by its nature is allergic /vernal conjunctivitis, lymphatic keratoconjunctivitis, contact allergic conjunctivitis/. Other factors leading to development of chronic non-infectious conjunctivitis are: uncorrected refraction abnormalities, mechanical factors /dust, tobacco fume/ and syndrome of “dry eye”. In case of some of the above complaints, the patients should consult ophthalmologist.
