Abstract:
We present two cases of posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy in members of the same family. We correlated the clinical findings with refraction, topography, and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). This is the first report of UBM findings in amorphous corneal dystrophy and we describe the depth of stromal opacification measured in this exam. Additional cases will be of great help to reinforce these findings.
