Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis is an ocular surface disease that usually comprises a triad of superior bulbar conjunctival inflammation, an adjacent epithelial keratitis and an upper tarsal conjunctival papillary hypertrophy.

Conjunctivochalasis is a less-recognized, age-related clinical entity, and symptomatic patients do not get adequate relief without definitive treatment for this condition. These patients are often misdiagnosed as having dry eye and do not get symptomatic relief from dry eye treatment. It is important for the clinician to make the correct diagnosis and institute appropriate treatment for patients with conjunctivochalasis.
