Abstract :
The lattice corneal dystrophies (LCD) are characterized by an accumulation of amyloid within the cornea. There are several types of LCD, and in the LCD2 type the corneal features are subtly unique. The lattice lines are finely arranged and tend to be denser in the periphery (1,2). Corneal erosions occur less frequently, and visual acuity is preserved until the sixth decade (2).
