ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Schnyder's dystrophy with severe corneal opacity need lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty. But recently, excimer laser is used to decrease the corneal opacity. So we performed excimer laser PRK in myopic SCD patient.METHODS:
A 34-year-old female whose chief complaint was visual hazeness had multiple needle-shape crystalline deposit and disc-shaped opacity in Bowman's membrane and superficial corneal stroma in her both eyes. We diagnosed as Schnyder's dystrophy and performed PRK on her right eye.RESULTS:
After PRK, visual improvement was achieved. We report this case with literature review as we believe that our case is the first report in our country.
