2015年10月30日 · Thygeson's SPK typically presents in patients aged 20-30, with an equal prevalence between men and women (2). Most cases are bilateral, but the presentation is usually asymmetric. The condition relapses and remits and tends to have a prolonged course of one to two decades, although duration as long as 40 years has been reported (3).

Punctate epithelial erosions (PEE) are evidence of ocular surface dryness. They represent areas of epithelial cell loss and therefore stain positively with fluorescein.

Tear breakup time (TBUT) is a clinical test used to assess for evaporative dry eye disease. To measure TBUT, fluorescein is instilled into the patient's tear film and the patient is asked not to blink while the tear film is observed under a broad beam of cobalt blue illumination.

Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) is a chronic, recurrent condition of ocular irritation involving the superior limbus, bulbar conjunctiva, and tarsal conjunctiva. The etiology is unknown, but it may result from mechanical trauma related to the upper lid. The condition is associated with thyroid eye disease and contact lens wear.
