  2. Corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_dystrophy

    Different corneal dystrophies are caused by mutations in the CHST6, KRT3, KRT12, PIP5K3, SLC4A11, TACSTD2, TGFBI, and UBIAD1 genes. Mutations in TGFBI which encodes transforming growth factor beta induced cause several forms of corneal dystrophies including granular corneal dystrophy, lattice corneal dystrophy, epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, Reis-Bucklers corneal dystrophy, and Thiel ...

  3. Macular corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_corneal_dystrophy

    Macular corneal dystrophy, also known as Fehr corneal dystrophy, is a rare pathological condition affecting the stroma of cornea first described by Arthur Groenouw in 1890. [1] Signs are usually noticed in the first decade of life and progress afterwards, with opacities developing in the cornea and attacks of pain.

  4. Fuchs' dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchs'_dystrophy

    Fuchs dystrophy, also referred to as Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED), is a slowly progressing corneal dystrophy that usually affects both eyes and is slightly more common in women than in men. Although early signs of Fuchs dystrophy are sometimes seen in people in their 30s and 40s, the disease ...

  5. Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_polymorphous...

    Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD; sometimes also Schlichting dystrophy) is a type of corneal dystrophy, characterised by changes in Descemet's membrane and endothelial layer. Symptoms mainly consist of decreased vision due to corneal edema. In some cases they are present from birth, other patients are asymptomatic.

  6. Lattice corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_corneal_dystrophy

    It has no systemic manifestations, unlike the other type of the dystrophy, Lattice corneal dystrophy type II. Lattice corneal dystrophy was first described by Swiss ophthalmologist Hugo Biber in 1890. [1] Lattice dystrophy gets its name from an accumulation of amyloid deposits, or abnormal protein fibers, throughout the middle and anterior stroma.

  7. Corneal ectatic disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_ectatic_disorders

    Corneal ectatic disorders or corneal ectasia are a group of uncommon, noninflammatory, eye disorders characterised by bilateral thinning of the central, paracentral, or peripheral cornea. [ 1 ] Types

  8. Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_hereditary...

    Congenital hereditary corneal dystrophy (CHED) is a form of corneal endothelial dystrophy that presents at birth. CHED was previously subclassified into two subtypes: CHED1 and CHED2. However in 2015, the International Classification of Corneal Dystrophies (IC3D) renamed the condition "CHED1" to become posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy ...

  9. Thiel–Behnke dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiel–Behnke_dystrophy

    Thiel–Behnke dystrophy is a rare form of corneal dystrophy affecting the layer that supports corneal epithelium.The dystrophy was first described in 1967 [1] and initially suspected to denote the same entity as the earlier-described Reis-Bucklers dystrophy, but following a study in 1995 by Kuchle et al. the two look-alike dystrophies were deemed separate disorders.
