title: Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis in association with scarring of the superior tarsal conjunctiva.
abstract: Three patients are reported with clinical findings compatible with a diagnosis of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) that developed in association with scarring of the palpebral conjunctiva. Although the etiology of SLK is unknown, these patients support the theory of a mechanical cause for SLK.
