Corneal dystrophies and keratoconus
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1996This year's reports have given us a better understanding of several dystrophies as well as improvements in diagnosis and treatment. Eight corneal dystrophies have now been mapped to specific chromosomes and of these lattice, granular, Avellino, and Reis Bückler's dystrophies map to the same region of chromosome 5q, raising the question whether they are

Histological Landmarks in Corneal Dystrophy: Pathology of Corneal Dystrophies
2011Corneal dystrophies are bilateral, progressive, genetically determined noninflammatory diseases restricted to the cornea. These are characterized by deposition of nonnative protein or other material, both intracellular and extracellular, within the corneal layers.

Corneal dystrophies and keratoconus
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1995Knowledge about keratoconus (KC) and the corneal dystrophies continues to advance at a steady pace in view of the wide interest in these topics to basic scientists and clinical ophthalmologists. As in the past the articles on KC outnumber those on all of the other corneal dystrophies combined.

Fuchs corneal dystrophy (FCD) is a hereditary, progressive disease of the posterior cornea which results in excrescences of Descemet membrane, endothelial cell loss, corneal edema, and, in late stages, bullous keratopathy. Structural changes are noted principally in Descemet membrane and the endothelium, with thickening of Descemet membrane, loss of ...

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1976
The clinical and histologic aspects of 34 primary and six reoperative keratoplasties for lattice corneal dystrophy are evaluated. Surgical and postoperative complications were minimal and not considered specific for lattice corneal dystrophy. Visual results were highly favorable in a long-term evaluation. No lattice figures were seen to recur in any of

Corneal dystrophies. II. Endothelial dystrophies
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1978In general, endothelial dystrophies present three types of clinical manifestations: 1) production of collagenous tissue posterior to Descemet's membrane which appears as cornea guttata, polymorphic excrescences or gray sheets; 2) a disrupted endothelial mosaic in specular reflection; and 3) corneal edema as a reflection of decreased endothelial barrier

The Genetics of the Corneal Dystrophies
2011Several comprehensive reviews have been written recently that summarize what is currently known about the molecular genetic basis of the corneal dystrophies. The one that is the current definitive reference on the subject is the IC3D classification of the corneal dystrophies, written by an international group of experts on the corneal dystrophies.
