Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal diseases
  • Refractive errors

Background:

  • Presents a rare case of microcornea associated with axial myopia.
  • Utilizes modern examination techniques for detailed clinical investigation.

Observation:

  • Measurements include corneal diameter (8.00 mm), refractive power (39.27D/38.48D), central corneal thickness (568 µm/559 µm), anterior chamber depth (1.18 mm/1.14 mm), and axial length (26.42 mm/25.63 mm).
  • Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a steep iris origin.
  • Endothelial morphology showed degeneration in both eyes.

Findings:

  • Microcornea is characterized by a flat corneal surface, normal thickness, and degenerated endothelium.
  • The condition is associated with significant axial myopia.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the rarity of microcornea combined with axial myopia.
  • Highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing complex ophthalmic conditions.
