Abstract
Purpose: To report clinical improvement after combined treatment of bandage contact lens and autologous serum eye drop in a patient with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) complicated with dry eye disease (DED) and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Patients and methods: Case report.
Results: A 60-year-old woman was referred for unilateral chronic recurrent redness of the left eye not responding to topical steroids and cyclosporine 0.1% eye drop. She was diagnosed with SLK, which was complicated by the presence of DED and MGD. The patient was then commenced with autologous serum eye drop and fitted with silicone hydrogel contact lens in her left eye, and treated with intense pulsed light therapy for MGD in both eyes. Remission was seen Information Classification: General serum eye drop and bandage contact lens wear.
Conclusion: Long-term application of autologous serum eye drop combined with bandage contact lens can be used as an alternative treatment approach in SLK.
