I usually inject lidocaine with epi to balloon up the conjunctiva and then apply spots of cautery to the entire inferior conjunctiva. This is similar to the standard treatment for superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis. I use a bullnose tip on my Ellman set for cautery at 3-4 on the dial. I then patch the patient overnight and have them use tobradex ointment TID for a week.

Does this cause superior foreign body sensation after?
