Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) is a disease characterised by inflammation of the upper palpebral and superior bulbar conjunctiva, keratinisation of the superior limbus and corneal and conjunctival filaments. It may be associated with other diseases such as
keratoconjunctivitis sicca
,
hyperthyroidism
