%X superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis is rarely reported in medell¨ªn, colombia, where it is underdiagnosed or often mistaken for other diseases such as the dry eye syndrome. we present the cases of three women with this disease who were successfully managed with resection of a portion of the superior bulbar conjunctiva and the underlying tenon's capsule; improvement was achieved of the irritative symptoms and the cosmetic appearance. we emphasize on the need for clinical suspicion of this disease and on its surgical management.
