Abstract

Chickenpox is a common benign disease that
is typically characterized by vesicular rashes. The disease is more common in
children. Ocular complications of the chickenpox are rare. Vesicular eyelid
lesions, conjunctivitis and corneal lesions are seen in almost 4% of chickenpox
cases.



Here, we
report on a rare case of conjunctivitis secondary to chickenpox.
