ABSTRACT

Cogan's dystrophy is the most common anterior corneal dystrophy in adult females aged 40-70 years of age. Here is a 50 years-old female patient suffering from blurred vision, weeping eyes and photophobia. On examination, grayish images were observed in the form of fingerprints and map. This disease is caused by alterations of the epithelial basal membrane bringing about partial or total removal of the corneal epithelium. Often asymptomatic, it is the most common cause of recurrent corneal erosion. Treatment options range from lubricants, topical hypertonic solutions, bandage contact lenses, central epithelial debridement, mechanical or diathermy micropuncture and excimer laser photokeratectomy.
