    Corneal dystrophies are hereditary, non-inflammatory disorders that involve the abnormal deposition of substances in the cornea. They are classified based on the anatomical location affected, including epithelial/subepithelial, epithelial-stromal, stromal, and endothelial dystrophies. Examples of epithelial/subepithelial dystrophies include epithelial basement membrane corneal dystrophy, epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophies, subepithelial mucinous corneal dystrophy, Meesmann corneal dystrophy, Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy, and gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy.

    Corneal Dystrophies

    What is a corneal dystrophy?

    • Hereditary non-inflammatory disorders of abnormal deposition of


    substances in the cornea

    • Anatomic location affected: epithelial/subepithelial, epithelial-


    stromal, stromal, and endothelial dystrophies
    Epithelial / subepithelial
    • Epithelial basement membrane corneal dystrophy (EBMCD), also previously known as map-finger-
    dot dystrophy, Cogan microcystic dystrophy, and anterior basement membrane dystrophy.

    • Epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophies (EREDs)

    • Subepithelial mucinous corneal dystrophy (SMCD)

    • Meesmann corneal dystrophy (MECD) also known as juvenile epithelial corneal dystrophy[1][3]

    • Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy (LECD)

    • Gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDLD)
