Sclerocornea is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the eye, it is considered a form of congenital corneal opacity (CCO) with no clear gender bias, in which the cornea blends with sclera, having no clear-cut boundary. [1] The extent of the resulting opacity varies from peripheral to total (sclerocornea totalis).
