Abstract:
A 24-year-old man presented with narrow, linear areas of thinning situated horizontally in the upper part of both corneas. These areas were associated with progressive corneal ectasia, causing high degrees of "against the rule" astigmatism. By excising the affected areas, the refractive error was significantly improved in both eyes. Features of the disease suggested that the condition was related to the other ectatic corneal dystrophies.
