Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Granular corneal dystrophy Groenouw type 1 (GGI) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by allelic mutations of the BIGH3 gene. The specific phenotype is characterized by granular opacities (white, sharply demarcated spots resembling bread crumbs) in corneal stroma, which cause recurrent corneal erosions and blurred vision. Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is an effective procedure that improves...
