This is an autosomal dominant corneal stromal dystrophy which is characterized clinically by small opaque granules which are sharply defined with clear spaces between them (#21954).  Histopathologically, the corneal stroma shows granular eosinophilic deposits which are thought to be hyalin in nature and are scattered throughout the stroma, although more commonly seen anteriorly (#21955).  These deposits may be seen well on a trichrome stain (#21957).    Clinical #21954 Med. Power #21955 Med. Power #21957
