ABSTRACT
Lattice corneal dystrophy is a genetic disorder which deposits linear amyloid in corneal stroma and because of this deposition, patient, s visual acuity is decreased and recurrent corneal erosion occurs.There are three types of lattice corneal dystrophy, and among these types, especially type III has extremely low prevalence rate and quite different clinical findings compared with type I and II, and never has been reported in Korea.We report one case of type III lattice corneal dystrophy with aphakia who had been managed by penetrating keratoplasty with secondary PCL implantation.
