Abstract

We report 2 cases of lattice corneal dystrophy type III and gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy predominantly manifested in one eye. These 2 corneal dystrophies are found frequently in Japan. The case of lattice corneal dystrophy type III is the second, and the case of gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy is the first report at this time.
