Purpose:
To describe an observed peripheral corneal finding in a case of Ascher ring in a patient diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
In this case, the Ascher ring appeared to demarcate the transition between the clear central cornea and the peripheral cornea, which exhibited observed deep stromal dotted and filiform opacities.
Conclusions:
After conducting a literature review on August 11, 2025, utilizing PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus with the keywords "Ascher ring," "corneal opacity," and "stromal ring," we did not find prior reports describing dotted and filiform peripheral deep stromal opacities associated with Ascher ring. These findings may represent an underrecognized manifestation of this entity. Given the concomitant diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome, further investigation into possible associations between this corneal finding and autoimmune conditions is warranted.
