A clinical study of 90 cases of vernal keratoconjunctivitis was conducted to ascertain the efficacy of the local use of flurbiprofen and compare its effect with that of betamethasone. According to this study flurbiprofen was found to be effective in vernal keratoconjunctivitis, but less so than betamethasone. Because of the side effects due to prolonged use of steroids, it is recommended that topical flurbiprofen be tried first and in case it is ineffective, it should be replaced by betamethasone.
