Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: We report a Korean case of concomitant keratoconus and granular corneal dystrophy type II. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 29-year-old man visited our clinic for a routine ocular check-up. Slit-lamp examination revealed a few well-circumscribed, greyish-white, discrete granular opacities in the central corneal stromae of both eyes. Direct sequencing of exon 4 of the BIGH3 gene revealed a heterozygous...
