No contracture is observed with amniotic membrane as against mucous membrane. It is cheap and easily available and has no significant complications associated with it.

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <p>The presentation of vernal keratoconjunctivitis ranges from mild itching to severe corneal involvement. This case highlights an isolated limbal nodule as an unusual presentation of vernal keratoconjunctivitis that did not respond to topical fluorometholone (0.1%), but resolved with topical cyclosporine (2%). Topical cyclosporine (2%) can be considered first-line treatment for such cases.</p> <p><cite>J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus</cite> 2007;44:49-50.</p> <h4>AUTHORS</h4> <p>The authors are from the Guru Nanak Eye Centre, New Delhi, India.</p> <p>Originally submitted October 18, 2004.</p> <p>Accepted for publication July 27, 2005.</p> <p>Address correspondence to Dr. Pallavi Sugandhi; 1357, Sector A, Pocket B, Vasant Kunj; New Delhi-110070; India.</p>
