Abstract:
The authors report a case of a bilateral peripheral lipid keratopathy, rising differential diagnostic points as well. After several year-long follow-up period the peripheral corneal opacity left the center unaffected. The diagnosis was confirmed by tear examinations which disclosed elevated level of fatty and phosphorous content compared to healthy control eyes.
