Subepithelial mucinous corneal dystrophy
A very rare form of superficial corneal dystrophy with characteristics of frequent recurrent corneal erosions in the first decade of life and progressive loss of vision. The condition has only been reported in one single family. Painful episodes of recurrent corneal erosions occur in the first decade of life but decrease during adolescence. Later in life, patients are reported to develop subepithelial opacities and a corneal haze. The disease eventually progresses over time leading to corneal opacities and loss of vision. The gene related to this disease has not been mapped to a particular chromosomal locus.
