Description
Summary:Corneal dystrophies refer to a group of corneal diseases and that are genetically determined. Our understanding of corneal phenotype has improved with improving anterior segment imaging and early genotype‐phenotype correlations. Primary corneal disease includes endothelial dystrophies, corneal dermoids, cornea plana, and kerato‐irido‐lenticular dysgenesis (also known as Peters anomaly, types 1 and 2). Other secondary developmental corneal diseases may include Axenfeld‐Rieger syndrome, Aniridia, and primary congenital glaucoma, with specific genotype. The new molecular information is challenging the traditional thinking that was usually guided by the histopathological findings. Other secondary causes are acquired and include infection, trauma, and metabolic disorders. The new molecular information is challenging the traditional thinking that was usually guided by the histopathological findings. An overview of the innovating diagnosis and treatment are summarized.
