Treatment of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis with topical cromolyn sodium.
Eight patients with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLKC) were treated with topical cromolyn sodium. All standard modes of therapy had failed. Six patients manifested marked improvement or complete resolution of their condition. The administration of cromolyn sodium appears to be a safe and effective alternative in the treatment of SLKC.
