ONSET,COURSE: also known as
dystrophy of bowman layer
type 1.occurs in childhood &
cause slowly progressive
deterioration of vision.
ONSET,COURSE: is also known
as dystrophy of Bowman layer
type 2 occurs in childhood &
slowly progressive
deterioration of vision from
increase corneal opacification.
ONSET,COURSE: occurs during
first to second decade of life &
condition is progressive.
SYMPTOMS: vision is impaired
from childhood. Erosions
cause ocular discomfort and
pain in first decade but may
become less severe from the
end of second decade.
SYMPTOMS: erosion cause
ocular discomfort & pain in
the first & second decade.
Gradual visual impairment
develops later.
SYMPTOMS: decreased to
normal visual acuity. Erosion
may cause ocular discomfort &
pain.
SIGNS: include confluent
irregular and coarse
geographic like opacities with
varying densities which
develop at the level of
Bowman layer & superficial
stroma, initially separated
from one another opacities
may extend to the limbus and

SIGNS: include symmetrical
sub epithelial reticular
opacities with peripheral

3. Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD)
Known as hereditary crystalline stromal dystrophy of schnyder.
Inheritance : autosomal dominant
Onset & course : Appear at birth time or first decade of life,
slowly progressive & usually asymptomatic.
Symptoms : visual acuity decreases with age, scotopic vision is
good but photopic vision is decreased.
Signs : corneal sensation decrease with age.
A. Early opacity. B. Early opacity with crystals. C. Central ring shaped opacity
4.Congenital stromal corneal dystrophy (CSCD)
Known as congenital hereditary stromal dystrophy
Inheritance : autosomal dominant
onset & Corse : occurs congenitally & non progressive or slowly
progressive.
Sign & symptoms : lesions are diffused, bilateral, corneal
clouding with flake-like, whitish stromal opacities throughout
the stroma, causing moderate to severe visual loss.
5. Flack corneal dystrophy (FCD)
Known as francois-neetens specked corneal dystrophy
Inheritance : autosomal dominant
Onset & course : occurs congenitally & is non progressive.
Signs & symptoms : asymptomatic condition, dandruff like
opacities or some times ring shaped opacities .
6.Posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy (PACD)
Known as amorphous stromal dystrophy
Inheritance : autosomal dominant
Onset & course : occurs in first decade of life, congenital, non or
slowly progressive.
Signs & symptoms : gray white sheet-like opacities, mild decrease
in visual acuity.
7. Central cloudy dystrophy of Francois (CCDF)
Inheritance : unknown
Onset & course : occurs in first decade, non-progressive.
Sign & symptoms : mostly asymptomatic, rounded stromal opacities
that interiorly & peripherally & are surrounded by clear tissue.
8.Pre-descemet corneal dystrophy
Inheritance : unknown
Onsets & course : occurs after 30 years of age ,non-progressive.
Signs & symptoms: usually asymptomatic ,gray opacities.

REIS-BUCKLERS CORNEAL DYTROPHIES THIEL-BEHNKE CORNEAL DYSTROPHY GRAYSON-WILBRANDT CORNEAL DYSTROPHY INHERITANCE: autosomal dominant INHERITANCE: autosomal dominant INHERITANCE: autosomal dominant ONSET,COURSE: also known as dystrophy of bowman layer type 1.occurs in childhood & cause slowly progressive deterioration of vision. ONSET,COURSE: is also known as dystrophy of Bowman layer type 2 occurs in childhood & slowly progressive deterioration of vision from increase corneal opacification. ONSET,COURSE: occurs during first to second decade of life & condition is progressive. SYMPTOMS: vision is impaired from childhood. Erosions cause ocular discomfort and pain in first decade but may become less severe from the end of second decade. SYMPTOMS: erosion cause ocular discomfort & pain in the first & second decade. Gradual visual impairment develops later. SYMPTOMS: decreased to normal visual acuity. Erosion may cause ocular discomfort & pain. SIGNS: include confluent irregular and coarse geographic like opacities with varying densities which develop at the level of Bowman layer & superficial stroma, initially separated from one another opacities may extend to the limbus and deeper stroma with time. SIGNS: include symmetrical sub epithelial reticular opacities with peripheral cornea typically uninvolved, which can progress to deep stromal layers & corneal periphery. SIGNS: Bowman layer demonstrate variable pattern of opacification from which extend anteriorly into the epithelium. The cornea between the deposits is clear refractile bodies are describe in corneal stroma.

Classical lattice corneal dystrophy Known as Biber-Haab-Dimmer dystrophy Inheritance – autosomal dominant Onset,course,symptoms: appears at the age of 2 years & progressive, ocular discomfort ,pain occur sometimes as early as first decade of life. Progressive clouding at central cornea is apparent by age of 20 years, visual acuity is impaired. Keretoplasty is required at age of 30-40 years. Signs : Branching spider-like amyloid deposits forming an irregular lattice work in the corneal stroma, sparing the periphery. The number of lattice lines may differ between the 2 eyes & dystrophy may be difficult to diagnose in some younger patients.
  • 11. 2. Lattice corneal dystrophy , Gelsolin Type (LCD2) Known as familial amyloidosis of Finnish (FAF) Inheritance : autosomal dominant Onset & course : Occurs in third or forth decade of life, Slowly progressive, majority of patients are good health even in seventh decade of life. Signs :Corneal sensitivity is reduced or absent. Symptoms : Dry eye frequently, corneal erosion may occur in late life. Visual acuity is normal because of the dystrophy progress peripheral to central cornea.
  • 12. b) Granular dystrophy 1.Granular corneal dystrophy, type 1 (classic) (GCDI) Known as corneal dystrophy groenouw type 1 Inheritance : autosomal dominant Onset & course :Occurs in childhood as soon as 2years of age, Condition progressive. Symptoms : Glare & photophobia,pain,watering,visual acuity decrease with increase of age. Signs :Milky granular hyaline deposits in anterior stroma,opacification do not extend limbus. 2. Granular corneal dystrophy , Type 2 (Granular lattice) (GCD2) Known as combined granular –lattice corneal Inheritance : autosomal dominant Onset & course : Occurs in first decade, condition is progressive. Symptoms : Vision decrease with age, pain, ocular discomfort. Signs : Superficial stromal tiny whitish dots, rings shaped snowflake stromal opacities appearing between superficial stroma & mid stroma & the next lesion, translucent flattened breadcrumb opacities are seen in the final stages.

  • 14. 2. Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) Known as Fehr spotted dystrophy Onset & course : occurs in childhood & slowly progressive. Inheritance :autosomal dominant Symptoms : Photophobia & pain, visual impairment, occurs between 10 & 30 years of age. Signs : corneal sensitivity reduced,ireggular whitish opacities develop letter. Stromal opacities in the central cornea in Macular Corneal Dystrophy.
  • 15. 3. Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD) Known as hereditary crystalline stromal dystrophy of schnyder. Inheritance : autosomal dominant Onset & course : Appear at birth time or first decade of life, slowly progressive & usually asymptomatic. Symptoms : visual acuity decreases with age, scotopic vision is good but photopic vision is decreased. Signs : corneal sensation decrease with age. A. Early opacity. B. Early opacity with crystals. C. Central ring shaped opacity
  • 16. 4.Congenital stromal corneal dystrophy (CSCD) Known as congenital hereditary stromal dystrophy Inheritance : autosomal dominant onset & Corse : occurs congenitally & non progressive or slowly progressive. Sign & symptoms : lesions are diffused, bilateral, corneal clouding with flake-like, whitish stromal opacities throughout the stroma, causing moderate to severe visual loss. 5. Flack corneal dystrophy (FCD) Known as francois-neetens specked corneal dystrophy Inheritance : autosomal dominant Onset & course : occurs congenitally & is non progressive. Signs & symptoms : asymptomatic condition, dandruff like opacities or some times ring shaped opacities .
  • 17. 6.Posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy (PACD) Known as amorphous stromal dystrophy Inheritance : autosomal dominant Onset & course : occurs in first decade of life, congenital, non or slowly progressive. Signs & symptoms : gray white sheet-like opacities, mild decrease in visual acuity. 7. Central cloudy dystrophy of Francois (CCDF) Inheritance : unknown Onset & course : occurs in first decade, non-progressive. Sign & symptoms : mostly asymptomatic, rounded stromal opacities that interiorly & peripherally & are surrounded by clear tissue. 8.Pre-descemet corneal dystrophy Inheritance : unknown Onsets & course : occurs after 30 years of age ,non-progressive. Signs & symptoms: usually asymptomatic ,gray opacities.
