Overview
Human corneal dystrophies is a group of disorders, characterised by a noninflammatory, inherited, bilateral opacity of the transparent front part of the human eye called the cornea. There is a number of rare forms varying in expression and degree of vision loss.[1]
The International Committee for Classification of Corneal Dystrophies (IC3D) was established in 2005 and created a new classification system employing the latest data of molecular biology an genetics.[2]
List
- Fuchs' dystrophy
- Macular corneal dystrophy
- Reis-Bucklers corneal dystrophy (CDB1)
- Thiel-Behnke dystrophy (CDB2)
- Meesmann juvenile epithelial corneal dystrophy (MECD, Stocker-Holt dystrophy, OMIM 122100)
- Gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy
- Subepithelial mucinous corneal dystrophy
- Lisch epithelial dystrophy
- Granular corneal dystrophy type I
- Granular corneal dystrophy type II (also Avellino corneal dystrophy)
- Lattice corneal dystrophy type I
- Lattice corneal dystrophy type II
- Fleck dystrophy
- Schnyder corneal dystrophy
- Posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy
- Congenital stromal dystrophy (CSCD)
- Posterior polymorphous dystrophy type 1
- Posterior polymorphous dystrophy type 2
- Posterior polymorphous dystrophy type 3
- Congenital endothelial dystrophy type 1 (CHED1)
- Congenital endothelial dystrophy type 2 (CHED2)
- X-linked endothelial corneal dystrophy
- Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (OMIM 121820), called a corneal dystrophy but in reality this condition is not inherited in the majority of cases, representing a non-specific reaction to a variety of corneal insults.[1]
