  • Look Inside

Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) manifests chronic inflammation in the superior bulbar and tarsal conjunctiva. Its origin is unknown. It has been regarded as to be less common in Japan when compared with the Occident.

We observed 8 cases with SLK during the past one year. The cases included 2 males and 6 females of middle age. Thyroid dysfunction was present in one case and hypolacrimation in 5 cases. Bilateral occur-rence was the rule.

The lesion responded poorly to therapeutic measuresincluding application of 1% silver nitrate, topical ster-oid or surgical resection. Some cases showed improve-ment after topical instillation of vitamin A (retinal palmitate) ointment. SLK thus appears not to be a rare condition in Japan, as it may be overlooked due to its unique localization.
