title: Technique for the removal of limbal dermoids.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a surgical technique for the removal of limbal dermoids.
  
  
  METHODS
  We propose a method of deep excision and lamellar keratoplasty for limbal dermoid removal.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This technique achieves near-normal postoperative appearance and function in patients with limbal dermoids.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This method appears to offer an effective means of limbal dermoid removal.
