A case of Schnyder corneal dystrophy with crystals.
[]
To
report
a
rare
corneal
dystrophy
and
its
common
findings
to
help
aid
others
in
proper
and
early
diagnosis
and
management
.
A
56
-
year
-old
male
patient
presented
with
the
concern
of
blurry
vision
in
both
eyes
that
has
progressed
over
the
last
10
years
.
Anterior
segment
examination
revealed
arcus
with
a
central
haze
in
both
eyes
and
crystalline
deposition
in
the
right
eye
.
A
diagnosis
of
Schnyder
corneal
dystrophy
was
made
based
on
clinical
presentation
.
Schnyder
corneal
dystrophy
is
rare
but
has
different
presentations
and
may
actually
be
misdiagnosed
.
The
clinical
signs
change
as
the
patient
ages
causing
a
decrease
in
vision
,
which
may
necessitate
referral
for
phototherapeutic
keratectomy
,
penetrating
keratoplasty
or
deep
anterior
lamellar
keratoplasty
.
The
patient
's
systemic
findings
that
correlate
with
the
dystrophy
need
to
be
assessed
and
managed
appropriately
.
