ABSTRACT

Corneal dystrophies are a group of diseases that mostly have low incidence rates and are characterized by accumulation of hyaline or amyloid material that reduces the corneal transparency. Granular dystrophy is a dominant autosomal disease with gray opacities in the central superficial stroma of cornea, which are visible in the first and second decades of life and leads to significantly reduced vision when going into the 40 years of age. Here are two clinical cases of granular dystrophy in a pair of siblings who went to the doctor's because of blurred vision. The study of the family history helps the physician to reach a right diagnosis and the most important element is biomicroscopy.
