Epithelial basement membrane dystrophyis by far the most common epithelial dystrophy, but other dystrophies involving thecorneal epitheliumalso cause pain or discomfort that can be relieved with soft lenses. They include Reis–Bücklers’ dystrophy, Meesman’s dystrophy, lattice dystrophy and Fuchs’ dy...

such as vapor spray keratitis, mild epithelial edema and the bleb pattern of epithelial basement membrane dystrophy. MECD and LECD have clinical similarities and need to be distinguished from each other and this easily done by the different modes of inheritance. TBCD has similarities to RBCD, but...
MECD needs to be differentiated from other disorders of the corneal epithelium, such as vapor spray keratitis, mild epithelial edema and the bleb pattern of epithelial basement membrane dystrophy. MECD and LECD have clinical similarities and need to be distinguished from each other and this easily...
Map or fingerprint patterns are seen at the level of the epithelial basement membrane. Debris, cysts, and dots also may be noted.Recurrent erosion is common. Vision usually is not significantly affected. In Cogan's dystrophy,intraepithelial opacities are seen in the pupillary area. ...

Corneal abrasions occur when mechanical trauma or a foreign object scratches the epithelial surface, as well as from erosive disorders such as epithelial basement membrane dystrophy. These are frequently treated by eyecare providers and general practitioners alike. Positive sodium fluorescein staining in ...
We read with interest the recently published article by Germundsson et al titled, "Clinical outcome and recurrence of epithelial basement membrane dystrophy after photo-therapeutic keratectomy: a cross-sectional study." The authors state that the study followed a cross-sectional design, describing use...
Corneal chemical injury is a common ophthalmic emergency, and alkalis can penetrate ocular structures with high capacity, resulting in burns that have a significant impact on vision. Clinically, corneal alkali burns (CAB) can lead to a range of complications such as delayed epithelial healing, conju...
